Good day all,

Back in 1976 I was a freshmen in HS and learned about D&D and bought a copy and 44 years later I am the owner of a wood box 3rd print D&D along with several first prints of the various supplements all in Very fine condition.

I have a pretty good idea what they are worth but the only issue is I wrote the correction in the first two books, around 7 pagers have minor (a few words) written changes beyond that they are in excellent condition. The original box is in good condition. How will this affect the value?

I will need to send the pictures in groups. Here is the first set. Of the original 3rd printing box. Sorry about the shadows in some of the pictures. It darkens some the pictures in areas.

Here is the 2nd group. These are the 3 books. Shadowing is poor so they look dirtier then they are but it gives you a idea. I controlled the shadows better in other photos. They look much better in real life.

Another three, you can see the edge and back side along with loose papers. You can see some writing on one of the sheets with pencil.

Here are some of the pages with correction written in with a ink pen. One page with  most writing and the other with lease. On 7 pages have this in the first two books. Sorry about post these two upside down.
