Would be interested in knowing if the silver-back version has precisely the same catalog page.

Although I know that the reference page is missing from my silverback. Is the catalogue on the reverse of that?

I forget, honestly.

RWilson wrote:Hey,While you knowledgeable types are on the subject of Uk print material, I have a question: I won a GW basic set from the UK, and it is a Holmes set with the blue book and mono B1, lizard logo, red dragon fighting the wizard and fighter on the cover, etc. It also came with a mint AD&D PHB softcover. But question is this: how different is the BOX from the other prints in the US, as this box is quite large and is also black all the way around. It is about 1.75 times as deep as a mentzer box set, and is quite skookum in terms of its construction. Just curious, as I have never owned any printings of this boxed set before. Any help would be appreciated.
