2c Carmine, Alaska-Yukon, Small Die Proof on Wove (370P2). Brilliant color on pristine paper, Extremely Fine and very scarce, in 1903, 85 Roosevelt presentation albums were prepared and 75 were initially given away, the Alaska-Yukon issue was not released until 1909 and so was not included in the album production, ten albums were initially retained and several years after the first albums were released, some of those ten were updated with stamp issues that came after 1903, we do not know for certain how many were updated, or how many post-1903 proofs were printed and not affixed to albums, suffice it to say that Roosevelt proofs of post-1903 issues are significantly rarer than proofs of the earlier issues,
