What product is this?

It has the Fourth Crusade style trade dress, but with two lines of title text (below Castles & Crusades), one line above the horizontal stripe, and the other line in the horizontal stripe. It was available in 2009 Oct (i.e. when the photo was taken). There weren't many products with the Fourth Crusade trade dress at that point, especially in cream/gold.

It does not appear to be the first printing of The Lure of Delusion (where the cover picture stays entirely below the horizontal line). I have some good photos of that first printing, and the title is rendered differently.

The biggest clue might be the little bit of visible cover picture, which looks kind of like Miasmal Wyrms. In fact, that's my best guess: This is a Fourth Crusade trade dress version of Dragons of Aihrde Miasmal Wyrms. Can anybody confirm this guess?

For context, the little picture is part of a larger photo of the TLG booth from Springfield G.A.M.E. in 2009 October, as posted by the TLG folks via their Facebook page:

Aha! Yeah, it looks like it was Dragons of Aihrde Miasmal Wyrms. There's a picture of this cover version here:

That's what I was thinking. As for that old TLG banner...we've come a long way since then. That old white one was NOT the banner that Davis' dog did a job on. ;)
