(Please let us all remember that shrink is NOT a condition) What is interesting is that on the shrink is an about 1"x3" sticker which is an advertising blurb for what's in the module (because of course the Spinal Tap like cover isn't conveying much information).

The plastic looks thick and glossy The seam is at the top, because the shrink is a baggy. eBay item number:201931981408This is what real shrink looks like to me. An even seam along the back. Plastic is dull and brittle because its 30 years old. Shrink seam is across the back.eBay item number:201934028985Both are from the same seller.

I have few printings of these in shrink so I went and compared it to my fifth. My fifth has virtually the exact type of shrink on it and I am pretty sure it is original due to the facts that it is in perfect condition and it has the original store price tag still on it.The Ravenloft copy is definitely original shrink, identical to mine and the shrink fold is apparent on many 1st ed modules.My conclusion, both in original shrink!!!
