I can cite the pristine TYCO Superblocks in my collection dating from at
least the time of your bricks, while formerly white LEGO bricks from the
same period are a gentle shade of urine. I think it's the luck of the draw
insofar as your yellowed vs. non-yellowed. Alternatively, perhaps the
previous owner of the bricks liked the TYCO much more and therefore used
them much more heavily than the LEGO bricks.
Dave!
