Unusual blister?

[Idris]

I recently spotted this auction on Ebay and thought that the blister card was unusual since I don’t recall ever seeing one with the Superfast logo in black behind the model before.
Can anyone comment?

I had a quick look through my library of pictures as I thought I had a photo showing a 50a Kennel Truck in the same style blister with the black Superfast writing on the card, same as this one. I couldn't find it but will keep looking as I do seem to recollect this but until I find any proof cannot say for sure. I suspect this would have been an initial run for the very first transitionals and not for very long, thanks very much for showing.

I think I know the seller - he had 1st dibs on a load of old shop stock that I bought the last of in 2007-disappointed he didnt mention he wanted to sell any when we spoke at toyfair early september. I have shown my #52 Charger in the same blister style here before -these old RW Canada cards were used to complete SF runs in 1970-71 and shipped to Canada,Sweden,Denmark and Belgium - they were the 1st non USA blisters and were packed in UK.Very rare and worth every penny!

I wonder whats on the back of these blisters. Is it blank like the similar RW blister?

Very rare and worth every penny!

For future reference, the hammer price was just shy of £110.

Here are the other versions of the SF issue on RW card - interesting to see how Lesney evolved from the RW printing clearly deciding the SF logo needed to be bigger and then in red to make sure it was noticed in amongst old stock RW cards!
