Apparently there were at least two different production runs for this type of beach ball...
The ball for sale comes with a thicker gauge of vinyl...I have provided comparison photos to show it's slightly different from the usual, run of the mill Kellogg's balls. The endcaps, when placed in front of a light, show small eyelets. The normal ball doesn't appear to have this characteristic. The ball also stands a bit taller after full inflation. Panel colors are also more evenly distributed.
This ball had a scuff on it that I reinforced with a dab of HH66 in case there was a slow leak. There was none, but still it has been photographed.
