And by the way, what's that "index"?

Has anyone queried the seller on the printings of the supps?

Alright, I'll come clean.  Here's his verbatim response.



Chainmail=3rd printing-june76,,,Supp 1=3rd printing-jan76,,supp2=copyright1975,,supp3=copyright1976,,supp4=copyright1976,,,volume3=4thprinting 1975,,,volume2=copyright74/4thprinting nov1975,,volume1 copyright1974/printing1975november//swords &spells book copyright76-2nd-printing1977..The Box was Scanned in B&W ,BUT! Is actually Brown Ink,and "Dungeons & Dragons" in Red ink ,Words "3volume set" in Red ink too,Plus On side of Lid are Dungeons&Dragons in Red ink,Gygax&Arneson in RED ink,etc ..I cant swear to it,But looks like Original kinda box to me,,Also NOTE the Owners Name neatly Printed on Inside Cover of each book,And Name Label Inside Box too...The Index and Corrections are both Identical Size,No Copyright on Index ,yet it looks like it could be original cuz these Books are very well cared for,BUT! Im a bookseller n no nothing about D&D...Index is about 17pages ,and 5.5in x8.5in size...Basically it looks like a complete set Plus TWO extra Booklets

4 days left with an opening bid of $2.00. Looks like an early printing but the pics are small. Possible "D" in "Advanced" running of the edge of the banner and yellow/orange endpapers.

Nope. While the "D" runs off the banner on several printings to a minor degree, the occurance specified in the 1st printing is much more severe than that. Also this copy is listed as having 240 pages, the earlier printings have only 232. Unless you're a printing completist like me, it's probably not that interesting.

Since I'm on a semi-charitable trend today, here is a first print DMG.  My bid shouldn't be all that hard to overwhelm, and I figure I don't really need 3 of the things.

Oh Lord...I just realized that I have an entire grocery bag of free stuff I grabbed at GenCon in 2001!  

Special Edition of German S1 ("Gruft des Grauens"). This is the signed version: http://cgi.ebay.com/Gruft-des-Grauens-l ... 5231294240

Here is something else for those of you who collect all the odds & ends.  It is an AD&D Beach Towel:

Just wanted to pop in to let you guys know that Paizo publishing still sells their original back issues of Dungeon and they still have copies of #1 that go for $25.00.



Here is the link Dungeon Issue #1

The "official" price for Issue 1 has been $25 since before I ordered my copy around the time they printed issue 15 or 16 (back when I subscribed to the mag).  They must have printed an insane # of copies of the premier issue.

UK printings.  Rather uncommon in North America.

   Kind of like the original Oriental Adventures?  They broke their bindings if one did something terrible...such as OPEN them.  



   Also, the 2nd edition AD&D core books tended to fall apart...break right out of their stitchings...if they left the factory.  



    We used to joke that the Oriental Adventures was like a grenade that would go off in your face if you opened it.
