The cover of Men & magic should be the fighter on horseback (1st-3rd)not the lone standing fighter(4th-6th)

I don't think this guy knows what he has - there is no price of $3.50 on any of the books.  They are either a 5th print or OCE (6th) and he is just reading inside the cover - seeing that it states copyright 1974.

He also states that there is no box - but then later states that the box is in Fair conditon and has several sheets of campaign notes. . .

"Business as usual" ;)

OCEs or thereabouts, and not particularly good ones at that. Lost count of the number of people I've told...

The supplement first prints will be correct, I'm sure, but again condition is lacking (in display terms).

Has someone contacted the seller to let him know. They look to be OCEs to me. The bidding has already started.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
