| Greetings Master Builders,
The closest I've found to this corner wall with its glow-in-the-dark sticker
and 7 white ivy leaves is this piece:
Part 87421pb018
Panel 3 x 3 x 6 Corner Wall without Bottom Indentations with Bricks and 7 Dark
Tan Ivy Leaves Pattern (Sticker) - Set 9468
But as stated, those leaves are Dark Tan and they don't glow in the dark.
Can someone direct me to the correct part in the BrickLink catalog before I post
to Reference Catalog? Or is it a case of the wrong sticker put on a part?
Thanks in advance,
Mysterygirl

The GitD stickers come from this sticker sheet:
The GitD compound got them in trouble in the EU, so they ceased production of
all GitD stickers and the GitD print on the mummy minifig and replaced them all
with new non-GitD versions, like this:
If you scroll _waaaaay_ down to the bottom of this page:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=9468-1
...you'll find a list of alternate parts, which includes a bunch of stickered
elements. Currently there are ten different stickered elements accounted for,
with GitD alternates for only six of them. Given the rarity of the sticker sheet,
there's probably not many people who are willing to sticker the parts just
for the photos, so it's probably just a matter of trying to hold out for
applied stickers to pop up in the wild. It _is_ the correct part, but now that
an image is available the stickered element counterpart will need to be added
to the catalog.

| Thanks PurpleDave, for the answer and the history lesson. I'll ping the catalog
folks to let them know that they can use my image.
I wonder what it was about glow in the dark stickers that bothered the EU.

I don't know specifically, but the sticker sheet and the Mummy deco are both
printed, and both got changed. The Werewolf claws and the Ghost shroud were
molded GitD plastic and got left alone. So apparently it had something to do
with GitD print where molded GitD plastic was considered safe. Print can flake
off in a kid's mouth, while the plastic is more likely to just show teeth
marks maybe?
I've heard of similar oddities where a banned substance was considered legal
if it was encapsulated in some manner that made it safe. My college theater
had vinyl floor tiles in the auditorium. The tile had asbestos in it. If it
was fibrous asbestos insulation, they probably would have had to have it removed
a lot earlier, but floor tile is unlikely to start releasing asbestos fibers
into the air like insulation will, so until they remodelled the theater and wanted
to retile the floor, there was no problem with leaving them right where they
were and allowing the public to walk on them. During the remodel, however, they
had to turn the place into a negative pressure air chamber and have guys in hazmat
gear strip the floors, because having stable asbestos and having stable asbestos
removed are two very different situations.
