If it's sealed, there's no way to know.  These weren't meant for playing poker - they were meant for dropping in the battlefield and wearing in the band of a helmet.  But more than all that, they were meant as simple morale boosters for the troops.  The color of the back wasn't terribly important, and back then blue and red were the most popular.

That one looks like it had some pretty heavy box damage, and if there is water damage on the box, who knows what the cards inside are like.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Ya for $20! I don't think the seller knew what he had because he had it listed as a Desert Shield in the title, and there was very very little information in the description. I looked at the pictures and with the help of some people here, determined that it was a "Legit" one. :)
