Wow, I all ready have one of there. I wonder if mine is a first printing??

 

[Matt James]

Check out Acaeum.com to do some research on your copy. "Woodgrain" versions account for the 1st through 3rd printing of the original game.

If I ever decide to sell it, I will have to look it up.

 

[Rakusia]

how much were you thinking for it?

 

[TanisFrey]

I like mine on my shelf. The listed ebay item is at least $610 US.

 

[Rakusia]

If it's a true 1st print woodgrain it will go for more a couple thousand.

See the Acaeum listing (search for woodgrain)

Cool site. Now I know that I had a 4th printing of the Holmes blue-box basic set. Which is worth about what my uncle paid for it in 1979.
