First let me apologize if this has been asked before.
So as I begin coming to the end of my quest of collecting 1st Ed stuff, I have run into a conundrum. Previously with first edition it was fairly easy to tell if an item was a
PBR (Perfect Bound Reprint) or an original printing.
However, now that I move into 2nd Ed, I find myself becoming more leery of what I'm buying since it was at about the 2nd Ed point that TSR started using the perfect bound format. IS there any way to tell for sure if what is being listed is a reprint or original? Any help or pointers about this and I would be eternally greatful.
Thanks in advance,
Mysty
