No original editions: Men & Magic, Monsters & Treasure, Wilderness Adventures, Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Eldritch Wizardry, and Gods, Demigods, and Heroes. (Or Chainmail for that matter which is probably needed to have the faintest chance of figuring out how these "rules" were supposed to work.)
Incomplete Basic/Expert/... rules -- especially sad that the complete rulebook isn't there since, in my opinion, this was probably the least messed up edition of D&D ever created (and probably closer to D&D as people played it than the other incomprehensible rulebooks ever got).
No core rulebooks for AD&D "first edition" at all (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual) although some of the add-on rulebooks are there (not going to pay to find out if it's pre- or post- lawsuit Deities and Demigods).
(I put "first edition" in quotation marks because when it came out it was the third version of the D&D rules, and it was "advanced" dungeons and dragons (where by "advanced" we mean "incomprehensible"). The word "advanced" disappeared as of, if I recall correctly, "third edition").
So pretty much missing most of the stuff I'd be interested in for nostalgia. I guess it would be fun to be reminded of how wonderfully awful the official modules were (atrocious artwork, bad writing, and dungeon designs that make no sense at all).
