My initial presumption was that the 11" copy was the Alpha have bought my larger copies as soon as NKG listed their stock (I bet they won't make that mistake again). I presumed NKG had the most recent stock, hense my fears at the time that a third printing had occured and not been disclosed.

But Shane's testement conflicts and your order was mixed. Is there a difference in the blue tones of the maps within the bifold between your two different height copies?

No difference in any blue tones.  Is there one between the one you got from me and the others you purchased? Ian, on further examination, the taller one is NOT 11 1/4, but maybe 11 1/8.  The oddball one is just barely taller than the other three.  Perhaps just some minor printing variation???

I bought 3 copies of 2nd print and 2 of them are the tall boy versions.  The are 11 1/8 inches tall.  My 3rd copy, the shorter one is probably 10.8 inches tall.  The height difference is almost 3/8 of an inch and I don't see any difference in the blue.  I ordered my copies a couple of days before the end of the buying period.

Looking at the cover of my short copy, it looks like a bad cut job - the border is definitely not even going left to right.  On the left, the bottom yellow border is 1/8 thick and at the right it is 1/4.

I'm just wondering how many covers would have been printed on the same sheet?  If the were large sheets then for each tall copy there should be a short copy.

So we have 3 different sizes at least? I reckon they just used more than one press and more than one cutting machine, and what we're looking at is a combination of different batches as they were assembled, cut and boxed.

I've taken your lead, Mike, and dropped the price to under $50.

OK, the only one I've seen of these selling recently, and it only sold for $17


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Is the any collectibility to these?  Has anyone found a greater market for 1st printing VS 2nd printing?



I've got extras of both 1st & 2nd printings of these I'm looking to sell, but at $17, doesn't look like there's much of a market...

It just depends.  That one kind of slipped under the radar, I've sold quite a few copies at $50 or so.

Well, I guess that answers that then.


** expired/removed eBay auction **




The only 1 that sold was to the 2nd highest bidder of the $17 one from a few weeks earlier.



I think we can say that the 2nd printing of this module has no collector value.



I'm going to relist it at cover price and see if it is still worth that, or if everyone who ever wanted one already has one.
