Not sure if it was posted, but I did contact the seller. It was not unique, though still a 1st print.

I bought it: seemed like a first print from the description and pics
I do not expect anything unusual at all with this one. |

Well this one gets more and more interesting:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180225630861
This from Bill Owen after I asked him: "Yes, this sticker indicates that the product was bagged (open-ended heavy-poly bag, heat sealed on end at Bob’s house by his wife) before the approval for use with D&D was awarded to us by TSR.
So as soon as the royalty agreement was signed I had (3000? I can’t remember for sure) white print on red background stickers made up quickly at Wood or Abbott & Foran Printing from Avery Labels i.e. 33-up on a page but the ‘gripper’ on offset printing caused waste of 1 row of labels.
So we stuck those on all the products that were already printed/packaged and then as a new product came out or reprinting of an old product, we’d incorporate similar art instead."
So should have some images and this info as an update this weekend - but in the process of asking more ?'s

well yes maybe i would. i guess i would like it but i dont REALLY want it that bad, know what i mean? i only want the little booklets anyway. want nicer ones than i currently have is all.
looks a nice listing though. if you were ever gonna bid on a CSIO anytime, thats gotta be a good solid bet for one.

Who cares what size it is. I am all over it. Got to be one of the rarest items. |

I have already been outbid by four people... So much for the quiet approach. |

Yeah! Bill has put up some interesting items this week. I'm sure the snipers will be out in force at the conclusion of the auctions. |

I decided to bid on some of the stuff for the first time. What is meant by snipers?
Thanks

Snipers are people who put bids in in the closing seconds of an auction. |

I'm happy to actually see the button and Tshirt.
But as for the auctions: Forget snipping, I'm bringing C4.

Ah yes, module C4, The Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Can you & your hardy band of adventurers find the hidden cache of Soviet-era Czech munitions in time to save the princess? As reviewed by SCTV, "this scenario blowed up real good." |
