Physical Details
Red body with black racing stripes. The GML22 code identifies the shared casting; it does not identify the color variation by itself. Check the body, printed details, windows, and wheels for wear when examining a loose example.

Packaging Details
The package identifies this as Muscle Mania 2/10 and mainline #193/250. HCV68 is the red release; HCX82 is the yellow version.
Casting History
Both 2022 color releases use the GML22 casting and sit at #193/250 in the mainline series. HCV68 is red; HCX82 is yellow. The casting number alone cannot distinguish the two.
Value Research
Compare the red HCV68 with red examples showing the same Muscle Mania and #193/250 identifiers. On loose cars, inspect the stripes and body finish; on packages, check the 2/10 and 193/250 markings.
Use completed sales for the same product code and package state. Card condition, blister clarity, loose-car tampo wear, and completeness can change comparisons; this guide does not state a price estimate.
Every Casting Variation
The GML22 casting appears in six documented releases. The 2021 blue cars are separate products: GRY44 is the Speed Graphics mainline and GTD68 is the ID chase. The 2022 red and yellow cars share a series slot but have separate product codes.
