I have nothing super-white in the big set I completed back in the 1970’s.
I've heard that story too, but there are also Wheaties collectors who say they've never seen a counterfeit. Which would be odd. The other thing is, with the woodcut style images you think there would be issues with the tiny parallel lines in a counterfeit, not to mention the small print. The Mikan in question has an image that matches up perfectly with none of the typical tell-tale flaws of a counterfeit, just the oddly white paper. As soon as I get it scanned I will post, next to some "regular" examples.
