What a beauty. Which censored number you have in there?? I'm pretty sure its Frian Brian #168. Ill show you what I mean. Just frantically took some extra close ups, hope their not too blurry. Let me know if you concur...Here's 2 angles of the number/top right corner...

Wow, incredible pack. Nice job.

I used color inversion techniques to view the '168' more clearly. I tried with the other pics but didn't work as well as this one:

Took your inspiration LuCypher, I messed with the contrast and brightness quite a bit, then found a censored Fryin Brian from Tornshaun's FB blog as a comparison.  I love this investigation stuff! thats why I loved completing Colombia! so many secrets. But this is crucial as its such a key/official item of foreign GPK. I get any more clues and Ive tried in every light style possible but these are the most obvious bits I can see through the wrapper. It makes it EXTA hard being Censored eh!! Sneaky Awesome Japs. Any questions, feedback or ideas, let me know.

I confirm that pack is legit  Sup! Got a question for you oh wise one. Heh. Since this is a confirmed 2nd print run pack (contains censored card), does that mean all 2nd print run packs were printed with the more vibrant, neon colors? See my comparison on Page 6 of this thread. The wrapper that sold for 2K recently seems to be printed in a much duller pink/green color. Can we deduce that all 1st print run packs have the duller, less vibrant colors? :-)

I wonder how long between print runs? sun light on the older wrapper and it being used more than my pretty much mint pack may explain the brightness of my one? I've never seen a wrapper this bright though so maybe there is a intended difference.
After all this time I'm so glad its now got to be seen and enjoyed by others, within in my collection. Such a cool rare thing of GPK history alongside the album to show both runs.

I wouldn't take the color as an indicator because they were printed around 30 years old. The sure thing I know is that one is with barcode and one is not.

Guess we'd have to find a pack with barcode that contains an uncensored card to be sure of the print runs. It could happen right? :-) Cool variation! no barcode (RMF's pack):  Barcode (ebay wrapper):

Most Likely the barcode is a sticker?and is put on at the convenient Store that used to sell them. The pack without is most Likely from the production company before it hit the shelves

ok while I'm waiting for the postman, I'll finish posting the last of my Bukimi Kun items in my close ups section...  so here is all of my singles, as Ive said before, 7 of these 18 have original backs, the other 11 are stuck on paper and have been cut out years ago by a previous collector.
