Which editions of D&D do you own the core books for?

Have a look at the figures from RPG Geek I posted above.
In fact, I'm not particularly surprised that the figures are like they are. EN World is particularly slanted towards long-term gamers who returned to the game with 3E, but started in 1E, or towards people who have an interest in the history of the game.
And, then too, the poll probably attracts people who have more than one set...
(As a side note, I own 2 AD&D MM, 4 AD&D DMGs, and 7 AD&D PHs).
Cheers!

It is a little surprising to see so many still have their 1E books, but it was pretty popular back in it's heyday - and it seems easy enough to slip on a shelf somewhere for nostalgia's sake. I think most of my friends that I played with back in the day still have theirs, tucked away somewhere...
Heh - I also wanted to add I have the 21st century copies of the 1E rulebooks - just big enough to fit in a shirt pocket for those forays out of town. (I also have the Cook Expert boxed set in miniature, would love to get a copy of the Moldvay Basic boxed set in mini).

You think it's ordinary that more people would have a set of books that's been out of print for twenty years than a set of books that's arguably the best selling version of D&D ever and only went out of print a couple of years ago?
I'm thinking there's some serious selection bias going on here.
All of the above
Heh. I love your collection, Ant!
Do you have a complete set of 2e products?
Cheers!

I'm not so sure.
For instance, there's more AD&D DMG's available right now on US Amazon than there are 3.5 DMG's. 6 new, 85 used and 6 collectible for AD&D 1st ed., as opposed to 15 new and 59 used for 3.5.

There's nothing in the poll that requires you to have owned the books from the start. "Out of print" means nothing these days: the second-hand market is massive and easier than ever to tap.
