Mattel GmbH Art.Nr. 1-6307 Weltraum-Sonden-Abschuss-Basis

Mattel GmbH Art.Nr. 1-6307 Weltraum-Sonden-Abschusßbasis 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.

John's Notes:

Several cases of the German carded version of this accessory were found in Europe, making this the easiest and most common carded accessory. Often it may be had for $20-25, so many collectors purchase one to open for display. The US card is still relatively uncommon and difficult to find.
