Heya! Anyone got any OD&D Supplements?
Am attempting to split the OCEs clearly into two sets, in the first instance on the basis of the priced/unpriced stocklist in M&M.
Having finally gotten around to checking these, the unpriced stocklist is present (in a similar, not identical form) in later suppls., too
(c/w
OCE thread;
New print(s) of the OCE set?).
I'm trying to figure out roughly when that cut-across might have occurred but unfortunately am missing many later printings (never really focused on those, myself, and gave away a few without thinking).
Any assistance with this would be appreciated (unchecked supplement printings, below).
Will amend this list if anyone with multiple prints posts further details/comparisons, please. Thanks in advance, if so.

(Might as well start from the beginning, for reference, even though the first removal of the pricing from the stock list I've spotted is down at "V1." (11/79)).

Comparing groupings of supplements present in 4th(-) and 5th print boxes (not just "one-offs") and stock lists;
4th print OD&D = November 1975 (sounds fair enough still) - ~mid 1976 (aside: stock list header retains GH T1st format)
5th print OD&D = ~mid 1976 - still on sale 1977 (currently listed as Dec 1975 - April 1976) (
stock list is closest to ELD 1st, also)
[ 3rd print OD&D still on sale late 1975, as might be expected (multi-sided dice set price corrected to $3.00 in at least one copy) ]
From presence of the OCE set in supplement stock lists and price column evidence, above;
OCE with stock list price column = ?late 1977 (cross-check with Dragon and possibly pin down further, from missing supplement printing data above?) - ?mid 1979
OCE without price column = ?mid 1979 - ??? (last few on sale in 1985)
