Agreed! We actually got a comment on facebook telling us that we were 'cheapening the brand' by publishing the 'ditto' green-cover manuscript from a collector who had bought the TSR boxed set; he didn't understand that this was the pre-TSR playtest version, and told us that Prof. Barker would never have approved such a shoddy product. We had to explain to him that this was done by the Professor in 1974, on his IBM Selectric and his personal ditto machine, and so it should not have any bearing on the value of the TSR boxed set. I don't know what the upshot of the discussion was, but I can find out.
