How rare are ANACS blue text slabs?

I've been doing some research on old ANACS holders / soapboxes, and I almost every one I found had the green background text on the label. But recently I found an older version of the ANACS holder that has blue text. How rare are they? Do they have any premium over a normal ANACS soapbox?

    Can it just be a faded green letter label??

    No, because the text says "Official ANA Grade"

    They are called soap bar slabs. I really like them!

    I don't know if they came in both green and blue or if one color fades to eventually look like the other but I have seen those with blue text at the local coin shows. When I approach a table I always look to see if they are the old ANACS or old NGC. I'm myself am old so I have to always stop and look verses being able keep walking by and tell without stopping.
