waysoftheearth wrote in Does "2002" Appear on the 6th Print OCE Box?:(The 6th print has no prices listed on the last page of Vol. 1).

aside: Good to see the listing still hasn't been corrected...
(The prices were removed for obvious reasons towards the end of the OCE printings as sales slowed somewhat and inflation caught up with TSR's stocklist: this is mirrored in the additional printings of the supplements, not yet noted here, prior to the white copies).

The best anomaly with the boxes came between the 5th and the 6ths: haven't seen another in a long time but it's apparent they were messing around with just what the OCE box should look like.

Are these the white copies?

"Note: black-and-white reprints of the Nov 79 editions were also later released, probably as stocks of that print ran out.  They are basically photocopies; some sources have reported paper-thin covers, while others describe covers identical in weight to the normal tan-colored versions."

Do we know much about when these were printed? My 1986 Mail Order Catalog has all of them (maybe white copies?), but the 1988 Catalog shows a dwindling supply.

chromaticknight wrote in Does "2002" Appear on the 6th Print OCE Box?:Yes, at least on my copies, there is "2002" on the bottom-right as you look at the front of the box.

Great, thanks for the info chromaticknight  

Yes--"2002" appears in the bottom-right corner of the box front--I was looking at my box sideways
