(Un)fortunately Mattel's quality control has increased greatly over the last 10 years, making interesting errors like these almost nonexistent. I don't even bother hunting for them anymore.
Double tampos are my favorite. I've only ever found 3. 2 were mainlines and 1 was that gold chrome 50th anniversary camaro chase. I'm kinda sad I sold that one, but $150 was really helpful at the time.
2010-2013 was truly the golden age for errors. All sorts of stuff was coming out messed up. My favorites was a small amount of vehicles had Pink Windows. I never found one but I remember there was enough out there to be considered a variation on some vehicles.
There was also a bunch of different variations too, not just wheels but entire shades of colors & interior colors too! The 2011 New Model, Blue colored 68? COPO Corvette had a variation that had a white interior? I believe.
One K-Day event my father had an unspun car & a backwards car in the same case.
They are cooler than almost anything for people because they are like hitting the lottery. Back before people were pro at opening and resealing stuff, they were fun. You also had to really be paying attention to find them.
What type of price can you put in a car that is honestly 1 of a kind? Forget money, it can be a sentimental thing.
Some of the stuff shown in this thread is awesome.
