I'm currently LOOKING TO BUY the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1e Player's Handbook, but of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd printing. Most people are used to the logo with the yellow banner that reads "ADVANCED D&D", but the original logo had "ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS" written in yellow across the top of the book.
Secondly, I am looking for a copy of OD&D's "BLACKMOOR" book.
and lastly, (this one is going to be impossible). I am looking for a copy of OD&D Volume 1 MEN & MAGIC but with the original logo of the knight on the horse, opposed to the one without the horse (which I already own).
Let me know if you have one of these that you're willing to get rid of for a reasonable price. Thanks in advance!

I've been on a similar quest for years. I have a 3rd print PhB, and its awesome. Have a Blackmoor Lizard Man logo with the price on the cover, too. The M&M with the barbarian on the rearing horse is still avoiding me. Even in raggedy condition, those that have one seldom part with it; even though the Acaeum lists a "fair" condition copy (meaning, pretty beat up) within one's reach. Good luck.

Even in raggedy condition, those that have one seldom part with it; even though the Acaeum lists a "fair" condition copy (meaning, pretty beat up) within one's reach. Good luck. I have a 4th printing of the PHB, and the one with the Wizard on the cover, and even the WOTC Reprint.. But for some reason I'm obsessed with the 1-3 print of the PHB. I don't know why, but I love the d**n thing. Blackmoor is the last of the OD&D supplements that I need. I was able to score a NM copy of Swords & Spells at last year's Gary Con for like $30. I have no interest in Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes, unless I was to find it for cheap. I have the WOTC OD&D reprint and I think I've flipped through that booklet only once or twice. No interest to me. But thank you for the correction on the M&M. Ideally I'd love to find a wood grain set, but there's no way in hell that's ever going to happen. So I'm after the M&M only because that's the one booklet with the most difference. I just love that cover art so much.

Is the content different in the various printings of the AD&D1e PHB or is this due to collector's obsession?
Also, are the OD&D reprints different in content from the 6th or 7th original printing? I never thought to shell out the cash for the originals since I am interested only in playing, not collecting, but I am interested in differences in content.

Collector’s obsession for the AD&D 1e PHB. From my understanding the WOTC reprints are done from the 6th / 7th printing. They’re not full scans however, they are re-typed (different fonts from what I recall). My copy of the white box is 5th printing for this very reason. I wanted an “original” set, but I wanted them to be different from the reprints. 5th print still has Hobbit instead of Halfling, so it was worth the money to me But I’m after the alternate / original cover of Men & Magic purely for aesthetic purposes. I just vastly prefer it over the other cover.

I think I have an extra Blackmoor supplement I'd be willing to part with.
