Technically, this variety is an early die state of the VAM-1B3 and 1B4 scarface varieties, but lack the massive die crack. Interesting but worth far less than the late die state scarface varieties. Caution is advised. This important VAM variety is designated as one of the MEGARED100 in the Mega Red 10th edition.
