1967 Topps Test Disc - Boog Powell

[Mark70Z]

I have attached a photo of a '67 Topps Test Disc of Boog Powell. I was wondering of this is a full color progression proof or is it still missing some of the colors? I know the test discs have been discussed before, but I still really don't know how many different discs would be part of the proof process.

Hopefully you guys like the BOOOOOG...

I think six is the magic progressive proof number, plus a final full color proof but there could be a couple more. Here are four from a 1968 Cepeda disc:



Maybe Al or one of the printing guys can chime in. I think the Cepeda run is missing black and yellow progressives at least. At first glance yours looks like a final, which is pretty cool as these are tough little buggers to track down.

if its red its complete if its orange missing color

Yours is missing a color (circles at left and right need to be blue).

Bob,

Thanks so much for the keen eye. I typically thought if they were red, w/in the circle, they were pretty much complete with the colors, but I can see that the Boog is missing the blue as you pointed out. That's exactly what I wanted to know; thanks so much for posting back and letting me know about the disc.

I guess these are pretty though to find in whatever stage of the printing process. It would be so cool, at least to me, to get all the stages of the process (maybe 6 as Dave mentioned). Anyone have all the stages of the process?
