GENERAL INFO

The 53A was issued in 1970 and has 1 major variation but two minors. The box itself shows the almost a copy of the Regular Wheel one, but with Superfast wheels and a black “Superfast” added. The first variation has the top and bottom showing the racetrack scene and a rear view with hood open. The second variation simply has the Superfast logo on both. The sub-type is F2 on both cases.

RARITY

Given the fact that it was released in 1970 and there are two variations of the F2 box, either one of the two is rarer and it is most likely the first with the racetrack view.
