The contents look VF. Storage box has broken corners and rub wear average to less than average condition to what I see from older boxes on Bay. For $15 is this a good investment? I can not really find a lot on google for it as far as value goes. beasterbrook Verbose Collector Joined: 06 Nov 2002 Last Visit: 08 Jan 2009 Posts: 1007 Location: Queensland, Australia Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:51 pm Average price I suppose .. but the broken corners prob a bit of a turn off.. here is an auction that I was watching a little while ago with no bids at $0.99 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170202755180&s sPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007 My opinion is never look at these things as an "investment".. If you want to do that invest in some rare 5 tsr items, they are more likely to go up than anything else.. and really we are only talking about $15 here..

I never saw it going for more than $20... So not a "rare" item in this way.

For contents, it says there should be three books, reference sheets, a pad of character sheets and dice. If you list it as a featured auction starting: "This will appeal to Pirates of the Caribbean fans. This is all where it started folks......" you could start a Pirates and Plunder collecting frenzy.   Xaxaxe Sage Collector Joined: 04 Nov 2004 Last Visit: 18 Dec 2008 Posts: 2616 Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 6:41 pm Yaquinto put out some interesting items in the early '80s. Pirates & Plunder was not one of them.   Deadlord39 Long-Winded Collector Joined: 30 Jun 2003 Last Visit: 07 Jan 2009 Posts: 4716 Location: New Hampsha Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:23 pm My kid is in a pirate phase, so I picked one of these up. Haven't even looked at it yet...........
