shad raps with black boxes

[bacon]

i just got a large package that had a high volume of older lures, mostly originals and CD's with the white end boxes. i plan on getting rid of almost all of them so if there is some older lures that you would like or favorite colors you like to fish with. there some gold painted perch cd's and such. there were also a couple dozen shad raps and as i doug though the box i noticed about half of them were in black boxes, instead of the traditional silver i have grown to love. they are the same box just black in color.
i do remember back when i just started buying raps on ebay i bid on and lost 3 four-packs of shad raps. there were like dealer boxes but they were made more like a display with the four side by side with a flip up lid i think. i really wish now that i would not have figured that $60 for all was way to much. but if my memory serves me those display boxes were were black, and im guessing that it was for the luanch of the shad rap in 84.
when i talked to ray ostrom he had said that the luanch of the sr was huge, he didnt remember the display box things, but said it would not have surprised him. im wonding if year one sr's came in the black box and they changed it to silver of some reason there after. im not sure, anyone else have any of these black boxes, or heaven forbid a 4-pack box.

ps
list of colors and style to come on the standard older rapalas for sale, going to be basically $5 each. most of the newer stuff is headed for the bay i think.

Jeff,

Would be looking at older Jointeds, floaters in 13 or 18, CD 11s, and of course shallow shad raps. Let me know what you got!

I think the black boxed lures were the 1st of them as the paperwrk inside the boxes only relates to Shad Raps and no other model.

I've only got the one and hadn't seen or heard of any others before reading about them here.

Hello, I do have about twenty black box shadraps deep divers only, the other problem is there are only four colors, Is the black box a good thing, Maybe i will sell some of them,I
really have no use for the deep shad raps, Well if anyone wants any let me know,

[muskiehunter]

Did the SR-9 and SR-8 come in black boxes or was it just SR-7 & SR 5's

I've seen these in P,CW,SD,S are there any other colors that came in the black boxes?

[livetofish]

I just dug out the ones i have, I have one of each color you have listed in the sr-5-7, in the black boxes, if you need them you can have them, most of them never used, but boxes in bad shape,
