Not necessarily. They may have run off an estimated 6 years worth of that
pack in 1977 (or whenever it was released) with that being the last good
shots the mold had left, and junked the mold. Then it sold a bit slower than
expected so you got it in 1986.
But still, that places the end of that mold (if my speculation is right) a
lot closer to 1980 than I thought. I'd be willing to wager (but happily lose
the bet and pay off gladly) that the mold is long gone at this point.
The PAPERWORK for the window in yellow theoretically existed since it was
used in at least Thatcher Perkins, right?
