Continuing the Matchbox tradition of classifying the cardboard the comes with vintage diecast toys, I've added a few pages of different card backs for the red Husky blister packs. To date I have 9 variations but I'm sure there are more and will update the pages as they come to light.

As of this morning all the features and pictures on my Husky/Corgi Junior web pages have been moved to my new web-server and should be fully functional. If you find any that are not, please send me an email describing the problem you encountered. Thanks and enjoy!!
