Media Test Issue

Pinnacle Brands' Internal Design Department produced a this test set intended for review by Pinnacle Brands executives. However, the cards were never released until after Pinnacle Brands' bankruptcy. The cards look similar to the Gold Press Proofs, but are serial-numbered "XXX/300" on the back.
