I like that one too!

The shop I worked for did very little proofing, like maybe one photographic mockup for the customer to sign off on. Everything else was production stuff from making press adjustments etc.

Topps......Appears to have done just about every sort of proofing possible.

Depending on how you look at it, even a card that's a production piece can be a "proof" of sorts. What we usually call proofs are done to get the design set, then the particulars of each card before production.
So stuff like this isn't technically a proof. But it was from a sheet printed during the adjustment of the registration. Probably on a two color press since there are multiple impressions of both black and Magenta.
