Item Description
11.75x14x3" thick complete vinyl ring binder from 1973 issued by card company Regency for store display/use. Seven-ring binder holds a total of 42 stiff paper sheets, each 10.5x13.5" in a variety of colors. Pages contain totally different Peter Max cards, w/Christmas and/or peace theme including images of Santa Claus and Max's classic doves. On the back of the first page is an index listing stock numbers for the cards and Regency company name. Each card example page has price information printed at bottom margin for quantities per style. Most cards are 5x6.5" to 6.5x8.5" and for the most part feature choice color Max art on outside, many w/additional illustrations/greetings inside and printed example names. Features a wide variety of Peter Max art, some of which are reproduced from limited edition serigraphs and these are noted along w/card information. Aside from these standard format cards, there are two different types of specialty cards. There are 4x5" Christmas cards which open to 8.5x13", revealing choice mini-poster cards featuring Max art. A number of the standard cards have foil design. All standard cards and posters have an example envelope attached behind the cards w/exception of the opened mini-posters examples. We could go into great detail describing these cards but suffice it to say this is an incredible and exceptional collection in which the cards individually are scarce, let alone in this complete and exclusive store binder set. Binder features same design on front and back including Peter Max floral design plus additional art on spine. Very lt. wear to binder but Exc. overall. Cards are Mint as mounted to the stiff paper pages. Among the most impressive Peter Max pieces we've offered. From the David Baker Collection.
