TSR1062 1991 Fantasy Collector Card Set 1 (Booster)

I have all the other sets in shrink but I have never seen this one, can't find a picture of it or even really a description (box set?) of what it is.   I am wondering if it doesn't actually exist?

Found a post here from 2009 where someone asked about this amongst a lot of other questions.  The other questions were answered but not this one so I thought I would try it on it's own.   Apologies if covered elsewhere and I missed it.

Thanks in advance for any help on the subject  

I remember when those first came out, sold like hotcakes, then they brought out the factory sets and it just destroyed the demand for the individual packs.

Ad&d Dungeons & Dragons 1991 Collector Cards Series 1 Packs TSR D | eBay

So NK lists this item number as 1062 and as the booster box 1 from 1991, with the normal 36 packs, just like tsr 1063 is the booster pack 2.  They do not have a picture though.

The difference is you cannot go on eBay without tripping over 1063s in SW, and I have never seen a picture of or a listing on eBay (or anywhere) for 1062.   Since NK says they had it before it must exist, but they last stocked it in 2004, vs 2015 for 1063.  So given the huge population of booster box 2, I am guessing this item must actually be extremely rare, at least in this form?

How do can you tell these are the 1062 set and not 1063 set?

The 1991 Series II Card Box has the TSR stock ID (1063) and its associated ISBN on the bottom of the box - the 1991 Series I box has only an ISBN on the bottom of the box (156076-080-X).  Also, the first series box is blue whereas the second series is a blue/green (my ability to describe color variations leaves something to be desired ).

Good to know. I didn't see a picture of the bottom of the box in that auction and was wondering if it was on the individual packs that I couldn't read. Also wasn't sure if the green box may have faded to the light blue in the auction.

Thanks,
Mike

There are also duplicate cards in the 36 packs which comprise the box sets.  Lots of luck is interested (albeit less luck is needed for these sets than a Blood Wars or Spellfire set )
