Appears to be the 2nd edition (or "2nd printing"?), according to the info in these places:

http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Knights_of_Camelot

http://www.acaeum.com/forum/about5891-0-asc-20.html

As far as I can tell, each has a yellow Wizard logo, but the 1st edition/printing has a yellow "TSR Presents" above the title, whereas the 2nd just has a black "TSR" above the title, in a different font.

I'm not really sure if there's only two printings of this. Anybody know of more printings?

Here's some more French language D&D and AD&D books and DM Screen in a lot (seller is in Montreal)

http://cgi.ebay.com/4-dungeon-dragon-french-book-ecran-maitre-de-donjo n_W0QQitemZ220444180298QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item 33537f3f4a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10|66%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A 1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

(edit)
There's also this listing for a Mentzer D&D basic set in a "blister" (is this supposed to be a French version of shrinkwrap?)

Looks more like a thicker type of plastic used for sandwich baggie rather than the usual, but it does seem shrink-like.

OK, I've seen the RPGA cover of the 3rd edition Greyhawk Gazetteer that was sold at Gen Con around the time 3rd edition came out. But I have never seen this version of the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer:

http://cgi.ebay.com/D-D-3rd-Ed-Living-Greyhawk-Gazetteer_W0QQitemZ3203 89893761QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a98b9ce81&_trk sid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C30 1%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Is this in fact the cover or is the seller using pre-production artwork similar to what I have seen for other products?

I have seen that cover image used a few times - other sellers, online stores, etc - it is just the mock up version.

Here's another DMG 1st print with an ok cover, but some writing and coloring inside

The funny thing is literally all the listings even on the mundane stuff are listed as "Hard to Find!" or "Rare!"

I have never been able to grasp the reason for printing those.
More to the point, the reason for wanting them. Confused

I understand others feel very differently though.
To each his or her own. Cool

Well, they are cool little useless things. And I made a typo in my original post, so that makes them doubly-cool. Smile

Yes, I do realize who the seller is. I've never dealt with that person, but the last time I posted about possible problems, a bunch of folks chimed in that they had good (recent) dealings. Maybe Lisa or whoever it is has turned a new leaf?

They always start put "good".

And then they flame out famously.

Regardless, this person has stolen lots of money from lots of people already over several years and several IDs, turning over a new leaf or not.

They shouldn't be advertised as anything other that the thieves that they are, since they've never made good with any of the people that they've ripped off before.

Deal with them at your own peril and remember if you do, you're supporting a known scam artist, "reformed" or not.

This guy has a bunch of gaming stuff and all are buy-it-now. Some are probably at reasonable prices. None of it appears rare.

I never would have dreamed it would sell for that...
I figured MAYBE half or slightly higher than half.

WOWSERS! Shocked

I would have paid even more than this if i knew it was up for sale! i think it s great price, and a sorry i missed it - if anyone else knows of one in shrink, there is one purchaser over here!
