Star Wars 12-Back Cromalin Proof Sheet
This is an extremely rare cromalin sheet for the original 12-back action figures. The figures pictured on the sheet are Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi. The sheet is an early incarnation of the 12-back proofs with several markings and changes that would happen on the final production cards.

The marking in the middle instructs the change to put (c) 1977 Twentieth Century-Fix Film Corp on the front of each card (which would appear in the final production cards). On this sheet, Luke's name is typeset in a white font, and the marking indicates a change to using black for Luke's nameplate as seen on the Luke Skywalker 12-back action figure. All of the 12-backs had the note to give the items a new SKU number since this sheet showed them all with the default of 38000.
