1st Print OD&D Woodgrain - Rare Variant

[Matt James]

If it has the red star burst, then it is the 6th printing--otherwise known as the Official Collector's Edition (OCE).

You can find out more by checking out this page on Acaeum.com -> Original D&D Set

Let me know if you have any questions.

That looks right. Sometime when I have time soon, I will pull it out and confirm it is a 6th printing.

Meh, more reinvesting to help alleviate some stress. I am pleased it has made my reserve price, though at the current price, it's still a steal! 7 days, or so, to go.

I hope I'm wrong for your sake, Matt, but I wouldn't expect it to go up to more than $3500 or so---prices, as you know, are down substantially from several years ago....

Mine has a tan-ish box, but the first rulebook is signed by Dave Arneson.

Yeah, I'm not expecting to hit it out of the park with this auction. The price reserve has been met, and I would be pleased to see it into the hands of another loving caretaker, and fellow collector.
