Hey all, yesterday i was sorting out my recent purchases and found in the stack (actually they were not properly recent... i am ref to several months ago!) a D&D monster and treasure set 1 which is not hole punched.

I checked in the Acaeum page but couldnt find and ref to this kind of version: even the images are all hole punched.

From a detailed inspection, this item should not be a photocopy or a fake but it makes me weird that there could be a version of M&T without holes.

For the sake of completeness, this item perfectly matches with the 2nd printing (except for the missing holes!) reported here.

Any clue on this version?

thanks and ciaooo

Not trimmed along the edge that would have had the holes?

No hole punches in early Holmes sets, I'm guessing. See this 3rd print auction.

Good eye for details Toad.
I also have a third print Holmes Box Set with a second print M&T Set One (no holes).
And another M&T Set One with no holes, which is seperate from any box set, though I suspect it was once inside one of the Holmes sets.

Second: As First, but Lizard logo (and the adjacent address) is very slightly larger, and TSR Stock Number on bottom left is "9011". Rear cover now has the price for Outdoor Geomorphs Set One. Copies have been spotted with and without the 3-hole-punching. Thanks to Aneoth and Rene Hurka for help with this info.

I knew this topic sounded familiar to me.... From back when I was known hereabouts by another name...
