I came across my old World of Greyhawk box and, of course, came here to figure out the printing. It's a 7th with "by Gary Gygax" under "Fantasy Game Setting." I did notice that there is a question regarding contents:

There are definitely two differing versions of the box itself.  The more rare version has "by Gary Gygax" under "Fantasy Game Setting" on the front cover.  Unfortunately, the contributor who told us about this is understandably unwilling to open the shrinkwrap on his copy, so the contents remain a mystery.  The common version of the box is as depicted in the scan here, missing the "by Gary Gygax" line.


If the question is still outstanding I'd be happy to provide any details about the contents of my box that help.

That's interesting, as I have a 7th, but hadn't noticed the outstanding question on content..  :oops:

Being a devourer of SW, mine isn't in shrink either.  :twisted:

It seems to me that we had a thread going over the differences between 3 different prints of the boxed set.

Well, you and I did.   :D

Short version - without Gary Gygax noted on the front of the box is the earliest... we think.
