Here is an interesting early proof. What do you think it's value is?




This might be a 46P2a. It is printed on a thick paper.

If the paper it that thick, it is most likely a trimmed card proof. But that is just a swag

catalog on card is $50.00. With the chopped off margins, real world $10 - 20.
Ideally you'd like the margins to look like this

Taking into account the previous remarks, this item is still rare. While it probably wouldn't fetch full catalogue value, it displays well and doesn't show any obvious defects. I think it would bring at least 50% of cat value on ebay.

Ok, scratch my last statement regarding the margins as the other ones I've found have very tight margins also, so perhaps these did not come with wider margins. Here is one on ebay right now as a buy it now, the seller is notoriously high on his pricing as I am watching quite a few of their items and they are constantly re-listing them due to no takers.
