I think Coco has a carded green snake example. I think its a Canadian example.
Green Snake Yoda can be found in ESB baggies and on some European card backs. I've even seen one on a Kenner 48B, although I can't confirm it was real as I've only seen pics.
As for my carded Canadian example, here we go.
Irwin Toys : The Canadian Star Wars Connection says - "Yoda collectors will notice that Yoda was never available on Canadian cards with a Brown snake
only an Orange one".
My piece clearly contradicts that and has the added bonus of being green :mrgreen:
Check out this thread from RS from the time I got the figure.

There are many Canadian cards with Clipper offers. Some have told me carded overstock was shipped from Canada and the Clipper offer was applied to the card before it hit the shops. Others have told me that overstock card backs were shipped to Europe then figures, bubbles and offer stickers were applied before they hit the shops.
The most likely scenario for my Yoda was probably the latter and its quite possibly that he started off in an overstock 6 packs baggie or something similar before ending up in his current state.
Regardless of how it ended up the way it is. I know its my favourite piece and many collectors (especially Canadians) would dearly love to have it in there collections
