Interesting theory Steve, but most of my common issue models I've had from new, and they've never been displayed on mirrored shelves or in mirrored cabinets for the very reason that doing so only enhances the potential for fading. Still have plenty like those shown however. Also across the series from '56-'87.

Not particularly rare, just nice for the completest collector who collects every single known and un-known variation to have, which if you ask me is just plain insane... :D
