I've aquired two 1st printing Monster Manuals, but one has a red flyleaf and the other has a yellow flyleaf.  Is there a collecting difference between the two and if so what is it?

Hi Sieg, welcome to the acaeum! Please be sure to introduce yourself in the "Introduce Yourself Fellow Collectors" topic.  Can you provide us with pictures of your 1st print with the yellow flyleaf?  Thanks!

Will this become a new rare? A true first? A factory fluk?  Who knows.  And has anybody figured out which is a true first.... the chicken or the egg

Kosh, we still haven't seen a picture, etc to verify this. I'm hesitant to believe this until I can see a picture or a verification from another member. Its like me saying I found a Monster Manual 1st print with a pink flyleaf. Its the fairy MM!  :roll:

Hey guys,    Alas, I don't have the ability to take pics.  I bought the yellow flyleaf cover from a guy on Dragonsfoot (Basil).  Are there any specific markings on the cover I should look for?  Will go to the intro thread...! :-)

There was a mix up here with the books.  The 1st print PHB is the one with the yellow flyleaf.  Both MM's have the red.  Apologies for the confusion.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled collecting.... :-)
