Anyone care to chime in with more details? Thanks

Anyone care to chime in with more details? Thanks Oh, Allan... Here I thought you were a Greyhawk guru In fact, no one has taken notice of these in the ubiquitous lists of Greyhawk products. I thought I might be the only person to even look at them in my collection.
The sets, all of them, had sample dungeon sections - classic Gygax ones: secret temples, lost demon gods, weird magic items, never again reproduced monsters, NPC's, etc. The walled city one has a listing of city occupations, a hand drawing of the City of Greyhawk (methinks by Gary himself), and a sample section of the City of Greyhawk (the Silvery Mart, Old Gate, Anchor Tavern, Society of Sages, Old Town Barracks, etc.), including adventure hooks to the Nyr Dyv. IMO one of the great unnoticed treasures of Greyhawk knowledge. I would not be surprised if the Dungeon Geomorph sample entries came from Castle Greyhawk!

However, bbarsh's auction has a sheet with blue text, and the other auction has a sheet with red text. Also, the graphics look slightly different. Are these the front and back of the same sheet? Or is the blue text sheet the back of one of the geomorphs? Or is there another explanation?

I do have another question for you about the geomorphs. I came across your webpage detailing the sample encounters in the geomorphs:Dungeon Geomorphs and Outdoor Geomorphs in GreyhawkMy question: are the encounters you have on your website all of the encounters, or just some (a representatitve sample)?
Also, I just noticed that you have added new material since I last looked at the page. You have a link to the encounters from the revised set combining original sets 1-3. This was surprising to me. From the previous posts in this thread and elsewhere, I was under the impression that the combined set did not have any sample encounters; just the geomorphs. But in actuality the combined set does have the sample encounters, but they have been edited to fit with the revised Basic/Expert D&D line?
One last request: since you were the original author of this thread, can you edit the subject line to change "Geomophs" to "Geomorphs"?
