That was the conclusion I came to as well. Thank you for taking the time to look
and comment. I appreciate it.

  I don't see any other similar varition that it could be. It looks like the
dbg print was printed at the wrong angle on your piece. Which isn't a big
suprise.

I looked long and hard at the px6 helmet also and I ended up coming back to the
p01 helmet being the closer of the two. I appreciate you taking a look. It is
nice to have someone confirm that they are seeing the same things.

exhibits noticeable print variations." Would this be an example of "print variations".
the gray blocks on top of the black line are in a very different location than
the listing photo. Sorry if this is trivial, just trying to be sure I don't
include the wrong helmet in a minifig listing. TIA.

I don't think that it is 30408p01 because the mouth and eye shape appear
to be different. I looks closer to a

but the mouth is the wrong
color. I don't see anything else that matches exactly looking at the Star

I can add it for you or I can walk you through the steps so you know for next
time. It's not too complicated when you break it down. What would you prefer?

  I have a col077 boxer minifig and the head does not have black eye on the reverse
print. I did not see any entry for an alternate part to the head in BL without
the black eye. I also didn't see where this same head was printed without
the black eye. Is this the wrong head for this minifig? Or did it miss getting
printed with the blue circle below the eye? It is blocked open stud, btw.

Thank you guys and gals for taking a look. The mouth guard is gold. The light
in the photo kind of washes the gold color out. To my eye, everything matches
3626bpb0602 except the blue circle. I am just happy to know that I am not going
crazy. Legs, torso, and helmet all have Lego markings. No visible markings on
blocked open stud head.

I had this MF sold and noticed this while packing. Notified buyer and they opted
to remove item from order (understandably). Curious what the generally thinking
is on something like this. Is this a defective MF that is worth less or is it
a rare misprint that might be worth more? I'm not looking to cash in, happy
to sell for average value, but curious. If head is that big of issue maybe I
just part it out.

Thanks again.

I'm relatively new to selling on brick link and even less experienced with
vintage sets. I acquired a fairly complete 1984 Knight's Castle set 6073.
I was missing several light gray bricks and I purchased some on brick link. I
know that there can be variation in color between different production runs and
from year to year. Then you have the time factor, sun fading, etc. I took several
pictures of my light gray bricks and I placed a new light bluish gray brick on
top that I took from a recent star wars set. My question to the group is. Are
all these bricks light gray? Should I even bother trying to sell a set with this
kind of color variation? How much of a detraction is this from the sets value?
Thanks.
