The pack is distinguished by its striking visual design: a dark blue stripe with the inscription &quot;BEST&quot;, colored (red, yellow, black) horizontal elements at the bottom, symbolizing a Western (German or international) image. The TAPDK excise stamp with the marking &quot;2000&quot; is visible on the top, and the Tekel brand stripe stands out on the edges of the pack. This is a pack from the period before Tekel&#039;s privatization, which was characterized by a very wide range of local brands.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"832\"><strong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"832\">Value assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1344\">\n<li data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1046\">\n<p data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1046\"><strong data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"856\">Collectible value:<\/strong> Average.
