Rare 1969 Topps “Room 222” #5 Color Test Blank Backed Still Sealed with “Topps Vault” Sticker and Hologram and Hologram – Karen Valentine as Alice Johnson

Offered is a true rarity--not just an example from the already scarce 1969 Topps "Room 222" color test set, but a blank-backed proof of card #5, featuring the TV show's co-star Karen Valentine. The set was tightly distributed in just a few markets, and the regular cards are tough to acquire, with the color versions being even tougher than the black and white versions. The offered proof card example comes directly from the "Topps Vault" and still is encased in the case sealed with the "Topps Vault" sticker. It also maintains its serial numbered hologram sticker on the reverse. The series ran for five seasons between 1969 and 1974, and was considered a somewhat groundbreaking comedy for dealing with racial issues of the period. Immaculate Near Mint to Mint condition
