What this means is that we can no longer assume that all $1 box editions of Fire Dragon that surface are in fact first PCs. You need to ask the sellers what the Fire Dragon $1 box books list to on the inside, if that information is not given.
Over a year ago, I poked fun at all of the listings that claim that the $1 box Fire Dragon is RARE. I find extras of the Fire Dragon $1 box PC far more often than the other titles; in fact, I found one in just the last few weeks. If some of the $1 box Fire Dragon PCs list to Fire Dragon and others list to Dancing Puppet, that sheds light on why Fire Dragon seems to show up more often than the other $1 box PCs.

There are plenty of these 'mules' around, and I'm glad people are beginning to notice them. There are a bunch listed in the Hardys guide, but they don't seem to get into the Drew guide easily.
I was with David himself on a wild Michigan bookhunt one day when I found the first 1965A Broken Locket (man on cover with revised text PC) and I just about had to hit him over the head with it to get him to pay attention. Then he was all into it.
There are a lot of other books not in that guide that I had sent to him, so maybe now that others are beginning to notice, all these years later, they'll actually get a place in the most holy of listings. He didn't like books that didn't 'fit in', but there are a lot that just don't.
