Related: How do I know which printing of the PHB I have?
There's finally a PHB in-stock in our FLGS, I want to buy it but I read the above question and learned that there's a second printing with corrections of the first printing. Ideally, I'd like to grab a copy of the second more updated (and apparently, more durable, as I've read here but can't find the source) copy.
Problem is, I can't remove the PHB from its plastic wrap so I can't look at the credits as suggested in the answers to the above.
Is there a way to tell the printing of the PHB without opening it?
