United States,1969
Complete 1969 Topps Room 222 #1-#44 test set color print trading cards. Out of all 152 Room 222 test cards in Andy's collection we were only able to build one complete set! Overall set has a CGC Grade Point Average of 4.69 with four CGC 7 graded cards, individual grades below. A black and white version also exists of this test set, but ultimately neither was released. Both versions are rare, but more black and white cards have surfaced through time compared to color. From our research we believe this is the first complete color test set to be offered publicly at auction to date. Includes original test wax wrapper, please refer to photographs. CGC 7: #2, #12, #22, #42. CGC 6: #3, #7. CGC 5.5: #6, #9, #11, #20, #33, #34, #36, #38. CGC 5: #8, #10, #13, #17, #18, #21, #27, #29, #31, #35, #37. CGC 4.5: #1, #5, #14, #15, #24, #26, #30, #40. CGC 4: #16, #19, #25, #28, #39, #41. CGC 3.5: #43, #44.
CGC case 5 1/4" x 3 1/8".,
From the collection of Andy Yanchus, Brooklyn, New York, Project Manager for Aurora Plastics (1965-1975) and staff colorist for Marvel Comics (1975-1992).

Truly one of the most comprehensive collections to come to auction to date.
