So I have attached three pictures. They are of the only LOB Boxes that I know of.
The first is of the only 1st Print Box. Note the codes.
ISBN ending in: 48-3
Bar code ending: 42
----- This box is Tri Horned Dragon. Every time. There is no box that yields a Gaia the Dragon Champion in 1st Print (Wavy)-----
1st Print Gaia TDC doesn't exist.
The second box is of 2nd Print. Note the codes. This is the box I have some questions about...
ISBN: 48-3
Bar Code: 42
-----There was a point at which I thought 2nd Print was exclusively an ISBN of 52-1, however I cannot recall ever seeing a 52-1/42 (ISBN/Bar Code)-----
What that means is that all Tri Horned Dragon (THD) boxes are 48-3/42 and the only difference is the size of the "1st Edition" on the top of the box. That means that with only codes the 1st Print and 2nd Print THD boxes are not distinguishable.
----- Follow on question. What packs come in the 2nd Print THD box? Are they also 49-1? If so that would mean that 1st Print packs are also not distinguishable, especially when loose-----
I believe that the packs that come out of this box are all 53-X. Here's my reasoning: I have only ever opened two LOB 1st Edition boxes. One was a THD 2nd Print box and the other was a 1st Print box (implied THD). We know that 1st Print boxes yield 49-1 packs and have a bar code ending in 43 **(box to pack is always +1/+1 ISBN/BarCode, so a 48-3 ISBN becomes a 49-1 ISBN box to pack; simply drop the last digit and you get your +1. This is the same for Bar Codes.)** Continuing, I have two different packs: (1) the 49-1 pack and (2) a 53-X pack (these 53 packs are only available in 2nd Print boxes.) Given this, my hypothesis is that 2nd Print (48-3) THD boxes have 53-X packs and that all 49-1 packs are 100% 1st print.
The third box is 2nd Print as well. Note the codes...
ISBN: 52-1
Bar Code: 48
-----This box yields a Gaia the Dragon Champion (Gaia TDC). I believe this is 100% of the time-----
These boxes yield packs that are labelled 53-X/49 (+1/+1).
