of each color.

I've never had the yellow color issue happen with 69 Judge strips and now they are over 30 years old. What I have had happen though is the blue color shade can be different even when the part numbers are correct. My shop called me to report this after they opened two sealed GM boxes. The blue color was darker and almost black on one set compared to a lighter shade blue on the other set. I called my supplier and he had to hand check all his strip kits to get me the correct blue shade for both sets. He was very surprised at this. You don't see this inconsistency with the repros. But again, I prefer the NOS strips because the color is factory correct compared to the repros.
