There is a white border version of the Susini issue put out by London Idol Cigarettes. That's what it looks like, but it could always be some ultra rare unknown issue...

I bought a different looking Speaker in an SGC 30 holder for 75.00. I do not think it is worth a ton but who knows......

I've seen them go in the $50-100 range, but it seems like they should be worth more than that. (The next one probably will, now that a few people from this board will start looking for them.)

The back of mine has an R. J. Hill back too. I thought they had a London Idol back - maybe that version exists too. Eric has one on his web-site: http://www.freewebs.com/goudeyhunter/uncatcards.htm Maybe he'll chime in and post a picture of it's back.
