lokiwookie wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Formerly on eBay:Execpt Tome of Treasures, I'm not sure there is any place with printing infos.Tome of Treasures :: View Forum - Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU)I have 2 prints of Aftermath (the Phoenix Games "transition" copy and the normal one), 2 of Space Opera (different covers), 2 of Gangbusters (the sole difference is the color of the box bottom, black or white), but I am sure the other boxed sets could have some variations too. Not clear variations, only small ones.

I have two distinct printings of Star Frontiers Knight Hawks box set for example but they are both in shrink so I'm not even sure if it is explicitly stated as a x or y print inside. 1st edition of Gamma World had a few printings too I believe. Most others didn't or at least it is not obvious.
Mars wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Formerly on eBay:There are 2 different prints of the Chivalry & Sorcery and a couple prints of Chevalier (original and an anniversary edition).

Namely my 3rd print box has black lettering on the sides and back, not brown. Also the Large Thieves World logo is on the left side, not the right. Lastly, from the outside of the box alone, the distinctions between a 3rd & 4th print are that in the 4th print the picture of Lythande on the back is blue, and in the bottom lower right is an inset box with a barcode.
