I recently acquired a second OCE copy and quickly ascertained it was a 6th printing versus a 7th printing due to the catalog of products with prices in Men & Magic.  The printing on the box is so far off, though, that the S from Dungeons is on the front. Furthest off I have ever seen the box printing.  The color of the book covers is also quite a bit darker.  Anyone else seen this before? (attaching pictures).  Also just noticed that all but one page (the middle one) of the reference sheets for 5th edition are narrower than 6th edition reference sheets that are same width as the single larger sheet in 5th.  Image of boxes shows 4th, 5th, 6th, and 6th for comparison and books and reference sheets are from 5th, 6th, and 6th printings.

Wow, that "s" really is outta place. I have a couple that are right up to the edge, but none that wrap over to the front cover.
