Mattel GmbH Art.Nr. 1-6300 Major Matt Mason Card Front

The German packaging is basically the same as the US packaging using a similar card with the same graphic elements, text in German. The card bubble is made of a thinner plastic and generally has more yellowing and damage than the US card bubble. The back of the card is printed on uncoated stock so it exhibits some discoloration.
