Exactly! That's what I meant by "Golden Age" box art. That big yellow box
with the simple but always beautifully uncluttered photograph of the set.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to come across a near mint condition box
(with the set of course) for #1682 Space Shuttle. I've had the box
displayed on my shelf ever since. I think it's fantastic that the Designer
sets have been packaged in this way. There's an immediate, totally warm and
fuzzy feeling of nostalgia I get when I see those big yellow boxes.
Sometimes when I see them I feel like I'm only fwee and a haff yeaws owd!
*sniff* Memmmoriesssss!

Large Forestmen and Black Falcons sets are the most common "finds". (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
