Al's #14 was "A", wasn't it?Any reason why they couldn't then have taken that flavor and run with that in later Tegels? (albeit orange Tegels have been found with both "A" and "B", no?The format of the copyright message in "B" does tally with the earlier style for 1976.Eh... now I need reminding where the "3rd" comes into things... *looks*=p.s. Can we add known mailer dates for installments to the list of research topics?

(My comment on the texture of paper stock used for the Red Tegel covers is also still unresolved, in that case).The one I just picked up (1st printing) with the postmarked/sent 9th May 77 mailer was from that MIT cache with the Tac Cards and other stuff. Unfortunately there are only two mailers (I think) in that lot, despite going back to I and forwards to P (Journal, anyhow). Sub wasn't started any later than J as I have an interesting "thank you for ordering" sheet for that (and another copy somewhere... *looks*), as well as those 1st Tac Cards.=Plaag wrote:3rd CC came with 5th printing Tegel Tegel Manor Playing Aid (6th print has the same double sided, but attached and white one side, blue/purplish other)Eh... thanks for the reminder. I could've done with a reverse link from Characters Checklist !Mailers; L, 9th May 1977 (as above); M, 29th June 1977 (heh. handwritten addy, they must've run out of labels for their typewriter).Plaag wrote:Oh almost forgot..What exactly was in that mailer.. 24-page booklet L (of course) 4-page periodical Journal L 17" x 22" map Judges 11" x 17" map Player Character Checklist (of course) Wizards Guide ?Cover Sheet (this wasn't listed in Journal L so am wondering)Sorry, mix-and-match... only the CC was left in apparent context, thus my use of "presumably", above. Definitely no #14 to throw a spanner in the works, anyhow Looking through the rest of the batch, though, definitely no Tegel cover sheet which also tallies with that Installment Red Tegel I picked up from Keith (from whom you picked up those 1st Tac Cards) (1st printing Red, also with "B" type CC).Interestingly, there are two copies of the Wizards Guide sheet...Impossible to tell whether that was one with K, one with L, or just two sent at once, in error.

Plaag wrote:Interesting on the Wizards Guide sheets, if you could find out from seller how they got it, would be good to know.Concerning texture on the Red Tegel, not having another Red to compare to, I do believe it maybe different then the orange Tegel, I'd have to get out my copies and check though.

Was that other run of installments "on the cheap" with or without mailers? (You know who I mean, but can't remember their name).I certainly wouldn't choose to flag rarity on the basis of "complete including envelope", since that way almost all 1st Tegels will end up being incomplete whereas 2nds are "easy".JMO, anyhow.Plaag wrote:Interesting on the Wizards Guide sheets, if you could find out from seller how they got it, would be good to know.Concerning texture on the Red Tegel, not having another Red to compare to, I do believe it maybe different then the orange Tegel, I'd have to get out my copies and check though.Eh... OK will check, but I doubt they'll remember when they started subscribing.Texture comment was Red Tegel (1st) vs. Red Tegel (2nd). Just a "file back-mind" for now, anyhow, since it might just've been the impression I got from that recent 2nd print copy.

I compared it with my copy, he clearly has taken boxes from the border/other areas on the cover and imposed them over the item number and some text. (Not to good a job seeing as he's squared some areas that are not). Also if he was smart he would have not put the last page up on the auction as its picture is (c) 1979 when clearly GenCon X was 1977 It is however a 2nd Printing (1979): A barbarian in town square cover and missing maps as stated in Journal W.
