Hey everyone I have this B2 module which I believe is a 7th print. Sorry for the terrible picture. It had at one point a cardboard header which was removed. You can see the remains of it on the back of the module. However the header wasn't stapled but glued. Also, I don't see any mention on the B2 details page about a print being hole-punched. I guess I have a couple of questions here. Did TSR switch over to glue because the stapled header was really a 'dumb idea'? and....Are hole-punched modules\accessories rarer than their non-punched brethren?

Thanks

My general impressing is that the shrinkwrap is newer than the module.

Mmmm, maybe... Could you take a picture of the back, Sir K?

B2 was widely distributed because it was included as part of boxed sets.

Was it ever shrinkwrapped at all?

B2 ... man, I've been looking for that one for years. I'll just keep trying, I guess.

I've run into a few over the years.

And also seen several of the "glued" headers (in contrast to the stapled one).

And I'm not sure I actually have a copy, either. I used to include them with other modules that I was selling as lots ... and I think I forgot to hold one copy back.

If you aren't able to hunt one down, I may have an extra players copy I could sell.

I don't own one either even though I own DL 1-14, I 1-10 and dozens more. I do own the B1-9 mega module though so technically, I have it. I am not in the market for it and figure one day it'll be in some lot. I've been thinking that for years. I also keep thinking I'll get the Best of Dragon Vol. 2 for years but still don't own it. I'm not worried or in a hurry.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.
