The lowest number listed is the number of the printing. So since your pattern, @4dfamily98, has a 1 that means it’s the first printing.

@4dfamily98, I think that yours must be the first printing. The lowest number is one… In my printing copy the number series doesn’t have the first 1 you have, and I have assumed mine is the second printing. I´m sure @todd will tell you whether I’m right or not.
