    That looks like a first. How do the numbers differ?

    The numbers below the 1st barcode and above the 2nd barcode are different on mine than the ones pictured in the article. Here's what it reads on The Collector site.

    Thanks, Alan. Does that "2" between the barcodes on my copy indicated it's a 2nd printing ya think?

    It almost certainly means it's not a first.

    It was advertised as a true 1st by one of our very reputable dealers here and purchased sight unseen. They may just be unaware of the indicators on this title. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to correct it. Thanks for the input.

    I looked at my three copies. The first one I looked at was exactly like what you pictured with the 05584 number.

    The other two are like the ones Bruce showed with 50599. Apparently I only own two first editions.

    Also don't forget to check for misprint of GRIFTERS GAME on top of page 159.

    Thanks, Bruce. I mistakenly called you "Alan" up thread. Apologize for that. The true 1st is now on the way and was told to just keep the other copy. Thought that was pretty cool. .

    The 2 is simply the last digit of the product code. Both codes end in 2. The “1st” has it within the lines while the other has it outside the lines.

    The “non-1st” copy has Grifter’s Game on page 159. Which is strange since Bev posted that it would be changed after the first printing.

    Yes -- I pointed this out to Charles Ardai and he said they'd fix it in subsequent printings...after they sold the ~1 million copy first printing out. It's noted in my guide to first editions as an indicator.
