Ok, this may be some general knowledge thing that I am unaware of, but since I am a new 'collector', I had to ask this question.

I've been bagging, grading, organizing, etc., my collection and my T1 module, sixth printing, wouldn't fit in the bag for some reason. I then noticed (after owning this thing for over 20 years), that it is about 1/2" wider than every other module.

I looked around online, but couldn't find anything about it. Is this common knowledge or something? Why is it wider?

Thanks!
D.

I think Frank (exTSR) has mentioned stuff like this a few times.  The various prints of the first edition modules vary in size.  Often there are height differences and width differences.

Super, thanks for the reply on that. I'm sure the quality control wasn't a huge issue and they probably moved from printer to printer or had more than one printer running them at a time, so things like this were probably bound to happen.

This still seems to be a problem today considering you can find the same differences with the Goodman Games DCC line.

That's not a problem; it's part of their old school appeal!

:D
