[QUOTE="Mr-shifter, post: 517090, member: 4949"] Toni had Dutch clipper cards as well as German General Mills cards. These were printed by palitoy as well hence the availability here and as part of the infamous batch sold to Toni. Imperial commander was on the list with both 45a General Mills cardbacks and 45 clipper cardbacks like this one. The list stated 145 but didn’t state the split. I would be really reluctant to say either way wether it is or isn’t, and have always been a little wary of anything on the list, but that’s just me. What I will say though is I haven't yet seen one that has an aged bubble like this, which would far more likely indicate that it was original. I can’t see the pictures very clearly on my phone, but the bubble looks reasonably squarely on. The originally factory sealed cards tend to have a good press around the seal and one of the things that gives away the later sealed cards is a v in the stem, as common assumption is an iron would have been used to seal the cards. If you want any help with it then there is a Dutch Facebook collectors group that would be worth floating the pictures through. Not only would you likely get an indication of authenticity, you would get a measure of rarity from them. Be careful though, as the Dutch collecting community is small but can be ruthless. They have a lot of good, knowledgeable guys though. [/QUOTE]
