Do you think this finding will increase White Bluebelle's value, since now she can be called a true variant and not just from plasticizer/color leakage?

Plastic degradation unfortunately happens in unopened packages as well, in fact it is debatable whether being confined in a closed space speeds up the process. Nonetheless she's an utterly cool find!

*nods* really the only way we'd ever know for sure would be finding a picture of a MOC from the 80's of one.  However, since there is no blue on the card or anything, I *do* think it is more likely that she is an error than plasticizer leaking, because she doesn't seem to be sticky.  Also, the card is not faded, you can see how sharp red on the price tag is, which lowers the odds of it just being some weird kind of fading.

So, the tldr version:  finding her MOC increases the odds of her being a factory error, but isn't complete proof and we probably won't ever have firm proof one way or another.

We never thought we'd find one MOC to begin with...is it considered ironic that both the Great White Whale and the White Bluebelle are supposed to be blue, but are...welll...white? I'm so glad I was here to witness it...it's like finding evidence there's a whole new kind of pony out there waiting to be rediscovered! Maybe there are variations in the countries we've already got that haven't been discovered yet, either...more Columbian boys perhaps? Maybe it means more to me than it should...I just find her so very exciting and mysterious. I thought all the big finds had been made before I joined the Arena!
