Skulls and Shackles Box Colours

[Jon-Factor]

I have recently finished buying and finished playing the original adventure card game and was thinking of getting Skulls and Shackles. I have noticed two different box colours on different sites, one is all yellow and one is yellow and blue, for the same set of cards. Are these first and second print? I can give you some example links if you need them.

If there are first and second print versions were they all done in the same country/on the same printer etc. Trying to match up colours on the first set was a nightmare.

Thanks for your help.

There is only one printing. What you are probably seeing is the real box and the "artist mockups" that were shown when the products were first announced. If you look at the products on Paioz's site, you will probably see these comments in the product discussion:

Example 1
Example 2

So there are probably websites still using the original artist mockup for the product image. The ones you see on Paizo's site are the final, real look of the boxes. The other ones were never actually produced, they were just placeholders until the box look was finalized.

You are welcome. And double checking, I can also say that the "mockups" were more yellow, while the final have blue on the top, as well as the S&S logo on the hanging tab.

And if you compare the mockup version of the class deck box, you'll notice Oloch is missing and there are only 3 characters while the final version has 4, including Oloch. That is because Oloch didn't have artwork when the product announcement was first made.
