| Having handled thousands of used bricks, I have noticed two clearly different
shades of Light Gray which I do not believe can be explained by yellowing / exposure
to (UV) light because it occurs on all sides, even insides.
Until today, I thought that maybe this was a change to color at some point in
history or possibly degrading plastic, but now I have found a factory assembled
part of both colors. It is most likely from set 6080 because it came with a string
that was tied to a black 4081a.
Any good explanation of my sighting?
(In the first photo, the left part is light bluish gray for comparison)
