this took a long time to get, and I had to give up a lot of my fav t206....and thanks to a few fellow board members this is my crown jewel......but to own a "design change" T206 proof ....a basic "protype" from the final design....it's indescribable
.....I'm truly blessed
......the cap on whitey is designed differently( shape and stripes that are not part of color, rather design of the card).....the "thumb" and right hand drawn differently.....

Keith o mentions this very card in a proof article he wrote...
there a few "type 1's" that we now know were "not part of the final design of the card" and were essentially re designed before the final printing....
"type 1 proofs" as dubbed by the t206 resource . com....
alperman, pastorius, McIntyre, Matty, Shulte (front view), nicholls....were all pre final design cards......
these certain proofs within the proofs are very special.........either the board or the final artist re designed them for some reason before the final approved design for final production was approved....they are one of a kind pieces of history....
thanks to adam g, hank l, chris b, Erick s, jantz m, bryan l,jamie b, jim r, mike s, wonka, and so many others im so sorry I haven't mentioned, helping getting this card for me
