Can anyone give me any guidance on the likely value of the
DMG please? I think it is the ninth print (it has the
DM opening the large doors on the cover), and while the condition is reasonable/fair, with a few battered corners for example, I wondered if the great man's recent death was likely to make it any more collectable?
Thanks
You never know though, if you throw it up for auction, you might get a couple of guys bidding it up. As accessible as
EGG was, I personally never had him sign anything until last year's Gencon, so it might be worth more to someone who never had contact with him and wants an interesting curio. In the case of such a late edition
DMG, it definitely won't hurt the value (since it's not that valuable to begin with) but it also might not help. Probably the condition would have more effect on the price than the sig when it comes right down to it. I personally can't keep Excellent condition
PHB and DMGs in my store at less than $20 each anymore....
