A great idea suggested by @Victoria to start a thread used as a reference point for some famous Pu-erh out there in terms of the production year and appearances. This thread is best served by keeping it simple so I'm going to start with a short descriptions and pictures

7581
The Original 79 7581 - Noted by a flat bottom on the number "2" with a sharp tick in the end, and a handwritten ticket on the basket.
Very Unique 1983 7581 - Knowns as the "Square 2" due to the use of squarer font used on the numbers on the packaging. Ticket on the basket moved to screen print.
1995 7581 - Another year with unique packaging true "mid 90s" 
identified by the use of brown paper wrapping.
1997 7581 - "1st Gen Laser" the first year when the laser label was introduced.
The Original 79 7581 - Noted by a flat bottom on the number "2" with a sharp tick in the end, and a handwritten ticket on the basket.

Some books are murky at best. And the reference year can seem off depending where the books are published which uses ROC calendars.
