I’ve now completed all of the US retail set box and content sheet codes. It took me many months, if not a year or more to gather this info.
1981 used 17 consecutive numbers for retail boxing. It started at 95-0-001, and ended with 95-0-015. Code 016 and 017 could be 81 or 82 numbers.
1982 begins at 95-0-018 and ends with 95-0-032. I have no data for 029 and 032, which could be 1983 numbers.
1983 begins with 95-0-033 with 95-0-048 being a possible final number. There are 8 unknowns in this span.
1984 begins with 95-0-049 and ends with 95-0-057. I have verified items for all of these codes.
1985 beings at 95-0-059, with 95-0-058 an unknown and if it is a 84 or 85 code.
1981 Paperwork begins with 95-8-001, and ends with 95-8-019. Codes 003, 004, 011, and 012 are unknowns.
1982 spans 46 codes. Starting with 95-8-020 and ending at 95-8-066. This began Tyco’s export market, so many of these numbers are exceptionally hard to find, as it’s difficult enough to gather US item numbers. I have 20 known codes.
1983 spans 25 codes, beginning with 95-8-067 and ending with 95-8-092. I have 13 verified codes.
1984 begins with 95-8-093 and ends at either 108 or 109. Code 105 is unknown.
1985 begins with 95-8-110 and ends possibly at 95-8-113. Code 111 is unknown.
It may seem boring or your wondering why I’ve recorded these, but this is a good way to figure out missing or obscure items.
For example, knowing all 1982 US retail/catalog item sheets, of there being 20, that leaves it possible there were 26 export items just in 1982, not counting carded items. And a possible 13 in 1983, making almost 40 additional items not shown in the US retail catalogs.
Another note is that some Content Sheets (and some other paperwork) are formatted 95-8-### A or (A). This typically indicates a change in the sheet, mostly due to the switch from the 3010 terminal track to the 3025. Some of the 1982 sets will have two sheets for each set. I’ve verified it on 2 of the 5 sets. The 3219 has an A sheet but I haven’t looked to see what changed. And the 3208, 3208-1, 3208-2 have A and B sheets.
