Just wondering if there is a better listing of prints for the Orange Spine versions of the DMG?

I have at least 3 different prints.  EDIT:  Correction, make that 4 prints.

I thought I remembered seeing a thread on this before, but maybe I'm thinking of the PHB.

I only have a couple of the DMG orange spine versions right now. Are you saying I have to actively purse picking up whatever number remaining print versions now?  :D

I do believe that is the Acaeum mission statement is it not?  To encourage all collectors to identify and purchase not 1 but all prints of each item.

Thanks Mike.  Do I dare ask?  

I will write up my 4 in a couple days - maybe together we'll have more than 8 :)

No, just the number of questions... "Can you check this minute detail?"

Yes, the difference in two of my prints is the advertising page in the back or the thickness of the copyright date font :)  Some are more obvious such as the appearance of the bar code on the back cover.

I was including the obvious ones with the print info on the title page in my total, but there are others before they started adding that.

At least 3 of mine (need to check the 4th but it was obviously a different print from the bar code on the back) still state 6th.

Ya, I was looking at my PHBs too.  All the DMGs state Revised Edition 1979 with no further printing info that I spotted.
