The History of Palitoy From a Variant's Persepctive

Sorry mate, should have been clearer - lack of coffee!
I meant the Phase 1b cardbacks - the first series.
I have a few cardbacks, but they are all of the first 13 released, and I was wondering what the Phase 1b release cardbacks were like - 2 Para, Arctic Assault, Helicopter Pilot, Naval Assault, Night Patrol, SAS Frogman.
Did they have their photographs on the back, or was it just the first 13?
The BFTB archive only shows a cardback like mine.

Ahhhh, sorry. With you now. No, same Cardback for regular s1 all the way through. Other than the French language one. Larger carded items (m&a etc) had a different Cardback though. And not just that it was bigger, before anyone smartly says!!!

[Hopper]

Interesting.
I guess there was so little time between Phase 1b and 2a that they decided not to change the card backs. Incidentally, I have a card back from the Mountain and Arctic AF9 and bizarrely, the photographs are so much clearer.
Cheers for clearing that up Mr D

I love it! The theory is certainly sound, even though the mind of the author is not!!

Seconded.
