As well as the silver covers they had a few anomalies. Slayground had a bronze cover, Plunder Squad a blue cover. They also had a few illustrated copies: - The Rare Coin Score, The Green Eagle Score, The Sour Lemon Score and The Black Ice Score. They had a few versions with photos on the covers too: - Butcher's Moon, The Split, Point Blank and a yellow version with photo of The Rare Coin ScoreGlennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-37248648447171024252011-11-22T04:42:38.604-05:002011-11-22T04:42:38.604-05:00I've certainly come across those, and blogged ...I've certainly come across those, and blogged about them a fair few times, too.
