Cromalin Proof Sheet for Early Bird Display Header: Most vintage collectors know that the display bin issued for the Early Bird Certificate Package--the first Star Wars action figure product to hit stores--is among the rarest of all Kenner store displays. What you see here is a cromalin proof of the header card of that legendary display.

The lower portions of the sheet include an area for the project title. Note the date: September of 1977, a couple of months before the Early Bird Certificate Package was released for the Christmas season.

This rectangle on the reverse of the sheet provides sign-off areas for the various people involved in the development of this store display.
