The word "Addition" does not appear on the goldenrod reference sheet. On page 34 of T1st Greyhawk after the title MAGIC/MAPS DETERMINATION TABLE: the words "Additions and Changes" appear parenthetically. Again, these words are missing in the goldenrod reference sheets. There are other examples. Is it possible that these sheets are in-house prepub playtest sheets for Greyhawk? Does anyone know if TSR created and used such materials in a preproduction mode in '74? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

This one might be affirmable in strange kind of way. There are two DM pencil marks next to two of the monsters described in the sheets, giving their numbers for encounters. Does anyone know what tourneys ran in ‘75 and ‘76? If someone has one of these, please email me a list of encounters.
