I know what you mean.  I had never heard of or even seen a white box rules much less a woodgrain growing up.  The Erol Otus basic set is the first D&D item I remember seeing in stores.  Not long after I joined the forum, I got together with Badmike and Aneoth and became a bit embarassed while we were talking about the rare items we had.

Went something like this:

Aneoth:  "I just picked up an Orange B3 and a first print Chainmail.  They will look really nice next to my R1-4, RPGA 1-4, and mint Woodgrain set."

Badmike:  "Somewhere in the warehouse of stuff I have are a lot of really rare non-tsr items by publishers like Mayfair, Judges Guild, The Companions, etc.  I also have a ton of rare Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, etc, etc, etc."

Kingofpain89:  "I just picked up Greyhawk Ruins and Iuz the Evil."

Needless to say, both of them looked at me kinda funny when I said that (dont deny it Mike   ).  But over the last couple of years I have been able to expand on my knowledge and collection....all due to this site and the people here.  If I didnt collect this stuff I would be a whole lot richer moneywise and have a whole lot more time on my hands.  Course I would also probably have no friends and be addicted to porn.
