Hi everyone

One of my collecting interest is the different printings for AD&D 1st edition items referenced by Acaeum. Until now, after quite long research, questions to many sellers/collectors, I did not have the opportunity to see a picture for a few prints referenced here.

My first post on the subject during summer about U1 module was not successful, viewtopic.php?t=11698
Second attempt today.

Does someone have A3 3rd, U1 4th, S2 2nd (mentioned as unconfirmed), D1 5th, D2 5th, D3 5th.

Those seem much rarer than other printings. I would like to have a more definitive opinion about their rarity/existence. Perhaps I'm just chasing ghosts.

Thanks to anyone who could help. Pictures are welcome.

I have been sorting and cataloging my stuff lately (I am up to S2 WooHoo )

I do not have an A3 third but my list does say I have a D2 5th !!

I will dig it up and try and post a scan here later this evening.

I've got first prints of A3, D1, D3 and S2.  Probably all bought at my local game store waaaaaay back in the day.  Strangely, my D2 is a third print.  Also have a 4th print S2.  But no fifth prints.

I will, however, resist the temptation to become a module print run junkie.  That way lies madness.

And that explains that.

I am very interested in the history of TSR and such, but I have no interest in specific print runs. You guys amaze me in the techincal details you go into. I should really look into what I have. I've been buying every old module I find in used book stores for the past 20 years. I may have something rare.

I have a 10x10 storage unit, plus half of my garage devoted to it. At this point it would be more like a shipping company. (I do have a lot of old fantasy & sci-fi books too. It is not all old TSR stuff.)
