Does anyone have a really nice spreasheet they'd like to share of all of the old TSR/WotC products? I've found this spreadsheet http://ant.hivemind.net/Products_2008-12-30.xls which is great, but it's a bit out of date and missing a few fields that I'd like, such as page count, authors, etc.

As well as being a member here, I also check the forums at least once or twice a day!  

Yes, that's a spreadsheet I put on the web a few years back. Unfortunately, I don't have a version which includes page counts and authors. Since 2008, I have compiled far more exhaustive lists of D&D products, but those contain less information about each product/item than that spreadsheet does. They are just more exhaustive in terms of being more complete lists of items produced for each edition/campaign setting. You can find my various collector's guides over on ENWorld -- this post is a good starting point.

Hmm, well I guess if I dont hear back from the guys at TSRInfo.net or Tome of Treasures about a download from their site, I guess I'll start updating Echohawk's spreadsheet as I can.

Well, if you are going to do that, then I'd feel bad if I didn't at least share a slightly more up-to-date version for you to use as a starting point.

Warning: The attached file is incomplete. I have gradually been adding info from the Collector's Guide series back into my main spreadsheet, but I am a long, long way from finished with that process, so this version of the spreadsheet is still missing the various Living Greyhawk and Living City releases (amongst many others). There are also plenty of other gaps in some of the columns. And it doesn't even attempt to cover the different printings of each item, only the first one is listed in most cases. On the other hand, the product release dates in this version should be substantially more accurate that they were in the 2008 version. Basically, don't blame me if this feels like a work-in-progress, because it most certainly is. Terms and conditions apply. Warranty may not be valid in all states. Does not ship internationally. Etc.  

Yes, that spreadsheet is (still) amazing!

I'm curious how you got such specific dates for early items, like the original D-series modules being released on Sep 26 1978. I have been digging various materials for a while, trying to establish their release date, and I happened to look at your spreadsheet, and there was the date. But how? Am I missing some obvious sources of info? Maybe Dungeon Hobby Store fliers or something?

(And now I need to go dig through the dragon archive to see what convention happened on Sep 26 1978.)

I do have a couple corrections for you on the dates, with primary source establishment. Want a PM with the details, or would you prefer it here?

Ah cool, I was in the process of trying to dig up that list! I had seen it before, but couldn't remember where.

And yeah, there are a couple obvious publication date inaccuracies. Examples:
G1, G2, G3: The Dragon #19 p 3 says these modules debuted at Origins 1978 (Jul 13-16)
Fiend Folio: PAN #4 confirms it was released at GamesFair 1981 (Jul 10-12)

... I haven't scrutinized the rest. There are probably some more obvious ones.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but is this spreadsheet still hanging around? The link doesn't work for me.

Check out the Collector's Database (MS Access format) in the Files section of Facebook Acaeum. IIRC, I put an Excel spreadsheet with the same data in there.
