The 2nd Edition of Darren Prince's Unopened Pack Guide (1993)lists both colors. Prices were as follows then (in "prime" condition which seems to be NM):

Unopened Pack Blue/Red Green/Orange
Series 1/3 2000 2200
Series 2 2000 2200
Series 4 1500 1750
Series 5 1500 1750
Series 6 2500 3000

5 cent Wrapper 200 500

Series 1/3 packs were shown that way in the guide, all other series shown separately. No penny wrapper in Green/Orange is noted. Packs are 5 cent variety.

Mark Murphy's guide(2002)shows 200/250 as above for wrappers, so the spread narrowed in nine years but no distinction regarding pack prices is noted. Pack prices were higher in 2002 than in 1993 by about 15 to 25%, depending on series.
