The placement of the decal plus horizontal grain pattern.

I have a third print box which is identical to the first, but the smaller/centered decal is an unmistakeable giveaway


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Just for knowledge: i thought it wasnt possibile to determine the printing of a woody... Is that incorrect? What is the feature to look at in this case?
Thanks and ciaoo

Aia have you not seen the youtube video that Jon Peterson made regarding Woodgrains? He has some fellow in an ugly Speed Racer shirt talking about the different printings.


Shrink is not a condition

Hi Bill, thanks if you can post the link here... I didnt watch it!

Anyway, if i understand correctly, the feature of the horizontal grain is enough to state it is a first print...

Not quite, for a quick ID, look at the grain and the sticker

1st horizontal grain, small sticker
2nd vertical grain, small sticker
3rd, either grain, large sticker

Obviously have a closer look and do more research before bidding/buying, this is my quick reference check when scanning auctions.

Maybe only semi-noteworthy due to it all being shrink and the fact that I managed to find all of this in the span of two weeks.  And only overpaid “some”.

To go along with the 3rd print UK PH, an Australian hardback PH.
I’m curious, this one doesn’t have the square sticker on the cover. Does anyone have a scan of the rear cover of that one?
