Unless of course Kynan has a copy of PoVQ where some kid has been overly entusiastic about filling in the details. That's a possibility, but without comparing to atleast a few other authenticated copies, it's hard to tell. You can't really tell anything from paper colour without doing a side by side comparison, and I think ToT have already identified that LZ used different shadings of paper.
Alternatively, maybe we're looking at different snapshots in time here. One is maybe 1982 the other 1988 after many subsequent photocopies from photocopies and the inevitable degradation of images.
And of course the vampire queen turns into a puff of smoke, just like in the movies.

The 'nipple' version of PoVQ above has the Lou Zocchi sticker.
The Lou Zocchi stickered version on eBay also has the nipples and additional Queen detailing.
Could it be that Lou Zocchi added additional detail to the artwork?
Seems a bit far fetched, but does anyone have any other cover scans we can compare?

I don't think any of the 'UK Photocopy' PoVQs are A4. I think they're all US sized. And the red stripe ziplock is pretty standard for the UK version too. Makes me think maybe they were shipped to the UK from the US. Although those stickers on the ziplock seem to indicate it was originally sourced in the US (or at least the ziplock was), or maybe just the sticker.    Presume everything else in the lot was legit? It was a job lot IIRC. Anyone got piccies?

Yeah, Washington.  I looked up Yakima Games either just before or just after buying the Bella.  Can't recall what I came up with.

Paper and print quality all appear to be identical. Evidence seems to be that they had more module papers printed than they had folders.

This is from and an email exchange with Judy last year:

...Palace of the Vampire Queen was first packaged in the black folder
inside a ziplock bag. The sheets were not bound. The second printing
had a green cover sheet and was packaged loose in a ziplock bag. I
ran across one of the black covers recently. There were evidently
extras and my mother had been using them for filing. We didn't keep
samples of the module....


- So Judy's mom still has some extra folders she is using for personal filings of misc paper work... don't bother, I already offered to buy them all form her last year ... no sale... and you know I over pay for stuff...

Did she say WHY?
Seems silly to hang onto something like that.
I would either sell them, or trash/burn them to protect against frankensteins.
Probably the latter is the best choice.

A green cover sheet?
