B.M.T. 127 Posted November 22, 2008 Probably was placed on packs exported to English speaking countries. Being a "rarity", I guess it came in part through the production run, or if the batteries get warm or damp, the sticker could just fall off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazaa 0 Posted November 22, 2008 perhaps im the only one to notice this but the white sticker is english and the gold in japanese. Very likely that exported ones had the sticker put on top and the ones sold in japan only had the gold japanese sticker. Or maybe not? dazaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillyChang 1812 Posted November 24, 2008 would consensus be... these are the "earliest" packs from say late 1970s? It would definitely explain why the top label is gold (& same as the bottom original), and the english label isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
