I am going through some stuff I recently picked up and found another printing of I6 as well.

Distinguishing features are:

Printing A (back cover):
* ISBN is black and in a white box
* price of $6.00 in black on bottom right

Printing B (back cover):
* ISBN is printed in white, product code underneath it, no box
* no price - other than in the product code 394-53465-4TSR0600

Variation in colours on covers too.

Which came first?

Comparing with I5 and I7, I'd say printing B is the original.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

I think I started a thread on this several years ago. Same thing as Mars points out. I have bought copies of I6 if they cheap enough and I have only noticed the two versions pointed out.

I think there may also be another printing of the B3 module. Different logos on gatefold and interior module book. I need to do more research, though.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Bingo on the extra I6 printing. I posted on this a few years ago.

I agree with the other assessments of I6, I have had both versions too and what has been posted as the real 1st print is correct in my book (for what it's worth.)

Thanks Mark for sharing this. Another great find.
I had not read the previous posts on the subject.
I suspected for a long time that a second version of the I6 module could exist but I had not yet identified it.
I regularly watch sales on Ebay for this module. I agree that the second print is certainly the one with the price on the back cover. I think this version is much less common than the first.
Anyway, it is another print I'll actively search, now that I'm sure it exists.
If a member has one and wants to sell ... maybe Badmike.

Sorry, those scans are probably 10 years old, at least, modules probably long gone. I just had them sitting on photobucket for about a decade waiting to see if someone else ran into copies of both.

I changed the images so they could be viewed here on the page.....

Thanks for the pictures Mike.
Let's go for hunting a second print!
I guess it will take some time but it is one of the pleasures of the collector.
