1968 Hong Kong Blister Packs
68B-A - British Rosebud Card

Fake Blue No Sunroof (NSR) Custom Volkswagen # 1
Last seen up for sale on eBay in late April-2015 by turbo1474
First seen around 2005. Has more wear and tear since then.

Fake   68B-A   Rosebud Card
Fake 68B-FA   Rosebud Python 16 Card Real BPs have the following features: Logo: Rosebud Mattel Toymakers Back: 16 Car w/Python Paper Insert: None - Busted Button: Unfolded Tab - Busted Blister: No Button Tab Blister: Ribbed Sides Blister: Post Stand Printed: England Copyright: 1967 Cars: USA and Hong Kong Blister: Heat/pressure sealed- Busted	1968 Cars

Fake: Paper Insert, never an insert on Real ones. Fake: The button has a folded tab, Real BPs have straight unfolded tabs on their buttons.
Back of the Card looks appropriate.
The Car itself may or may not be legit.
The blister "glue border" isn't smooth which doesn't happen with the original heated/pressed process (no glue).

What we have is a cleary Faked Blister.
Mistake #1 including a paper insert, none of these Rosebud cards ever came with an insert.
Mistake #2 including a folded tab button, no Rosebud cards ever came with anything but a straight tab button.
Mistake #3, Not even a very good job of trying to Glue the blister to the card.

Here is how the BP used to look maybe 10 years earlier. Still has the peg hole filled in and far less wear.
