Extremely Rare 1940 Play Ball Colorized Proof Card of # 48 “Luke” Sewell.
Lot 7. Extremely Rare 1940 Play Ball Colorized Proof Card of # 48 “Luke” Sewell. In 1941, of course, Play Ball introduced fully colorized cards. The colorized 1940 cards apparently were a step in creating the process for the 1941 cards. The 2009 SCD Standard Catalog checklists five of these cards. This card of Sewell is an addition to the list. The colorization is apparent primarily on Sewell’s face. The card has vg corners and is free of creases. There are two pencil marks on the left side of Sewell’s face, and there are scuffs on his lips, obscuring much of the pink color used for his lips. Accompanying this card, which may be one-of-a-kind, is a vg+ to ex regular-issue Sewell card.
Winning Bid $321.
