Avalon Hill, SPI, ICE Strategy Games - Any Collectors?

Another great Avalon Hill bookcase game is "Down with the King!"

I acquired it from the family of a good friend who recently passed away, and it's been added to my collectible shelf.

I had actually forgotten about that one. Anybody know what it's worth, just out of curiosity?

I have a few AH games - the crown being my collectors edition of Tobruk which was limited to distribution at Origins and is signed by the authors and has a special seal on the box.

Mostly, I chase SPI stuff (much more so that AH).

Also, I have been slowly (vey slowly) chased down most "pocket" games from the various companies (metagaming, task force, etc.). Just another side collection...

Ah, the memories ... those were my very first eBay purchases. I was able to fill in some holes in my Metagaming collection; I eventually owned every release from Ogre through Fire When Ready.

At the same time, thinking of that era makes me sad. Those were the days when eBay was honest-to-God fun ... and, clearly, that is a thing of the past.

Without a doubt, Xax.

And who knew that Melee and Wizard (or any other Fantasy Trip product) would be pricing out the way they are now. Hell, I picked them up for a few bucks each six or seven years ago.

Oh, and a boxed version of SPI's Gondor too if anyone is looking for that.

Boxed? I never saw it boxed. I have it in an 8 1/2 x 11 folder with artwork. I also have the game Sauron in a similar format. Both from SPI
