I noticed on Amazon and other places that mentions a 2003 re-print of this supplement. The print history page on here doesn't mention it, is this true? How do you tell if it is?

Thanks,

Both the second and last seller mention it as a 2003 reprint.

Those sellers dont know what they are looking at. The 2003 is the number at the bottom right of the cover page. Not the year it was printed.

That's what I thought!

Do you know at wich edition they started adding the product code?

Unfortunately no. The copies I have are all later printings (11th and 12th) and have the 2003 code on them. I thought it would have mentioned it in the listing but it doesn't. I'm sure someone with each printing will be along sooner or later with the answer.

This doesn't apply to just Greyhawk supplements.

But if more ammunition needs to be issued, just mention that TSR ceased to exist in 1997 when they were sold to Wizards of the Coast, so TSR could not have had reprinted books in 2003, 2005 or whenever. Even is this were to have happened, common sense would dictate that WotC would have had its name plastered all over the reprints.

Very ill-informed sellers. I had one of these guys question a 1st print supplement some months ago making sure it wasn't a 2005 reprint. :roll:

My first printing does not have the 2003 code, but my 8th printing does. So that narrows it down a bit more.
