Hello Alex, we ask you for new #s but no one seems to back you up with their models ;) ;)

A nice pair of # 48a SF models a Light Blue, and a much Darker Blue models even the boxes show a different Blue picture.

The left one has 5 spoke wheels the right one has 4 spoke wheels.

Very nice George. The blue colour variation is very evident and very interesting. Thanks for showing.

Nice catch Numi and I personally would be tempted to do a little "Tinman" instigated restoration on the card backing using his starch and Ironing method, but that is only my opinion.

Thanks Ghosty. I quite havnt thought about starching & ironing this Sambron card (or any other cards) thats coated with vinyl but i can tell u this much that i would fail and just spoil this card and then the authenticity is all gone....blown. The bubble is almost perfect with no cracks.
This is the 1st blister with the Sambron on the door i had ever seen although some members say that more specimens could exist.
This is the job for the experts i presume ;)

Never seen one in a blister. Great addition Numi. It would be nice to find another blister packed example.
