D&D - Unique Original Woodgrain Box, Box Only! (1st Printing)

Brace yourself. This is definitely an item you have never seen before.

Back in 1974, the very dawn of the universe as far as D&D is concerned, an intrepid gamer from Woodstock Illinois had the life-changing experience of gaming with Gary Gygax and purchasing the very first printing of the Dungeons and Dragons rules set.

Though that would be a fantastic story and a fantastic item in its own right, this takes a twist beyond even that edge of awesome. This was just as the dregs of the 1st printing were running out so the item that he got wasn’t just the box that we all know and recognize. It was the same woodgrain box underneath, but it came with a simpler text-only sticker that they made to hold them over while drumming up the funds for the 2nd printing.

Yes, you read that right. This box is not just a 1st printing box, but it is a unique 1st printing box that may be the only one of its kind.

Sadly the books were deteriorated to the point of oblivion, so only this box remains, but this box tells the story more than any other piece would have. If you desire to have a treasure for an incredibly specific time in the life of the game then you have arrived.

The box has an amount of damage consistent with its age. There are creases and wear all across the bottom of the box, along with a few dings and wear along the edges of the top of the box. Nevertheless, it is among the most unique items you could possibly possess as a collector of D&D history. A certificate of authenticity and a letter of provenance from the original owner are included to verify the items authenticity and its story.

Seize this opportunity now, for it will likely never come again.
