IMO The blue tinted ones are fakes made from the box picture. If you look at the 2 pictures above you will notice the edges are slightly different (2 different cards), but both were reproduced from the same original picture (notice the small white dots, and the small stain in lower left corner). I believe now that they are flea market fakes made from the picture on the box. I have only seen 2 of them (both pictured).

I would have been happy if this item was the same color as the one on the box (cut from the box), but I now believe it is just a (blue tint) fake made from the box photo. Oh well, I havent paid yet, I wrote the seller and showed him the pictures, waiting on a reply.

Edited to say... Thanks Zach for the pictures, I knew Ive seen the photo before, but I forgot about the game box (Ive seen the box in auction catalogs before), for some reason I was thinking it was a shoe box cutout or something.
