Is that Dale Earnhardt one a factory issue or a custom? Can't find it on any lists is why I ask. There is a custom made Heineken and a NY Yankees one also on eBay.

daneisthegreatest: Have any envy green #7's you want to unload? Or anyone? Looking for 2 more.

it looks to be factory, the other ones that are on there, are not in the package, and they actually say that they are not factory made. Thats why I think the Dale Jr is a factory one, I guess I will have to start looking for this one as well.

The Jr. cars are not factory releases from Jada Toys. They are customs (both either the 8 or the 8. Custom graphics are a popular thing in die cast customs. The car is clear coated after the decals have been laid down. The seller on ebay list that any driver can be produced on a custom order.

I believe that hotweelz4me is talking about the Jada versions, not the Matchbox one linked earlier.

I have read where it is possible to unseal and reseal the blisters to the backing. That was my concern on the Earnhardt Matchbox since I cannot find it on any listings or searches anywhere. Hard to believe that it was the only one made...ever.

I'm still trying to figure out why they would do an xB in Jr.? Plus why use a PW box instead of a red one? Looks kinda cheezy.

The blister on the pearl white #7s I have are that slanted front one like the pic. All the other #7's-that I have anyway-are the rectangular blister w/o the cut-away. The "7" is also horizontal like the pic. But, mine has a 4x4 truck graphic, not the two cars. That card is from the current series, 2007 I believe. Odd.

Looks like this one:

leads me to think its faked, like they took that one, changed the graphics, and put the blister on a newer package thinking we were idiots

Maybe. Although the "ready for action"=large text &sideways, "xB"=small x and "7"=sideways are correct...maybe a transitional card? Who knows.

And all that effort for $7
