My loss, Al (and a huge one at that).  I was really disappointed to miss it, but Frank said he would explain.  All's not well, I"m afraid. As John Lennon said, life's what happens while you're busy making other plans.

Not the 1974 booklet. Is it the 1984?

No, I believe that is the 1979 2nd edition box set. The 1984 box looks like:



I gather the '84 set is more rare than the '79 set, and just slightly less rare than the original pamphlet version (any print.) But, I don't claim to know for certain... just what I've discovered in trying to hunt for it (strangely, I found 1st print, 1st edition BH before the '84 box set.)

This looks like an instance where the box cover art improved in a later edition. Though with my D&D stuff part of what makes the early art so appealing to me is partly nostalgia.

I would guess the rarest Boot Hill item is the 2nd Edition set.  Its the only one I still need.  I have also seen a lot more 1st and 2nd print pamphlets than these boxes.

Dragon Mag.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300251263750

Anyone asked/checked on this?  June '76 is #1, whereas Vol 1 #10 is Oct '77.  

Without a pic there is no way of telling which and his description could be either.  Also, without a pic - who knows what "50%" means (i.e., are we talking a tear across the cover which goes half way, or is half the cover missing Smile).

There is a chance that whoever is bidding could be on their way to a cheap Dragon #1 with a tear on the cover... or not.  Very Happy

No picture, bad description, 15 hours left.  This does not inspire confidence.

Hello fellow prolific obsessives, can anybody shed light on this item...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300252818022 &ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:PIC&ih=020

Is it a true first edition or a conglomerate?

Thanks for any input, Rob.

It's a Dragon #1, I asked the guy. The tear is apparantly pretty bad.

...37 bucks of BIN for a SWed copy and the seller has 4 of them... not too bad indeed!

That bores me, I see those all the time. I'd much rather see a cheap Core Rules 1.0.

Hell, the Core Rules itself is boring. I'd rather see a Dragon Archive. Smile

I'm more interested in the White Dwarf archive (since I don't have it). I just wish they'd done a Dungeon mag archive at the same time (before all the copyright hell was unleashed).
