I saw them on the USA eBay.  That foam is NOT anti-static.  Anti-static FOAM is BLACK.     :-o

How come my athlon had a pink/white one? It was definitely not black.

You are wrong about that.  Pink foam is NOT anti-static, it just does not GENERATE static-electricity.  Pink foam does NOT protect ICs against static damage, black foam DOES.  In all the years that I have worked in the electronics / computer industry I have never seen yellow or white anti-static foam.     :-o

What about all those screenshots people just posted? I doubt a serious company like amd would use anything other than anti static packages for their cpus..
