But possible to sell old stock.

Not new to me are Corgi Junior models with blank baseplates and with the small CJ Stickers on last series yellow Husky cards.
Here i know many variations.

Corgi Juniors selling start was 2-half of 1969, there was 2 different leaflets showing this. First line shown with old wheels,
same leaflet showing line-up of cars with Whizzwheels! Very interesting period!

Have fun

I`ve been collecting these corgi juniors for 25 years,and i dont buy resealed ones! Both cars were purchased with no mention of the husky base,no mention of a reseal,and from different sources years apart,and no more money than the other 100 or so i have blistered!.Is is not possible corgi had left over husky based vehicles and decided to blister them? maybe there were lots of these but obviously the majority were opened thus leaving a small amount,and surely corgi would have tried to sell them???

Cant see any signs of resealing in your photos and the models that you have, the Citroen and the yellow Jag are both known Corgi Juniors but vhtf or htf with the sticker baseplate so in these 2 particular cases I suspect we have learned something new here,that these 2 models were sold in Juniors blisters with Husky baseplates even if on most other models we already have proof that baseplates with Husky removed were packed in yellow Husky blisters. These 2 blisters make my top 5 new nuggets uncovered on this forum this year so far :ugeek:

Iam pretty sure that it is possible that these are original left over stock Huskys in Corgi Juniors first series blisters.
But in the first line iam trying to select the resealed stuff that pops up on the net every day.
From my own experience i now, that it is possible to reseal a card with no visible points.
Most of the resealed ones in the net can be clearly identified, but i bought also a few that looked good in
the first sight and i received resealed stuff. So iam only careful when i see new stuff that was never seen before.

I now have to get an better eye on this first series blisters. Surprise will never end.

I collect also over 25 years, have more than 200-300 -long- CJ collector picture cards and i have surprises every month.
Still looking for many known card variations and nowbody can be complete or nearly complete.
Corgi produced in many runs and in all runs came a handfull of rare packs with only a handfull of models on that
cards in that combination. So thats a fun field to collect and work for years.

More than 200-300,impressive!!!! :shock: These have always been my favourites,the artwork and information on them.I was only a baby when these were new,do you think they were too over engineered for a young child? do you think the young child would have been over whelmed with all the information? and just wanted to rip the car from its blister?

Dark blue transitional NSU is nice and not easy to find!

The hardest one to find is the transitional NSU with Corgi Juniors label on the old Husky blue, that mean the ligther metallic blue from the Husky line.
Only ever seen a few in 30 years of collecting.

And then we start with the Whizzwheels NSU with rare colours like white, blue and rare dark blue tinted windows variations.......

I have never seen an NSU in that light metallic purple shade before -very htf & so nice to see a colour so well known on other castings like Mangusta + E type on the NSU!
