thanks for noticing my pair. in all seriousness, i'll be curious to see what the top sheet looks like on the character sheet pad, as i've not seen one with that before.

When you're able, would you please post a picture of the cover?

Here's a Pharaoh that sold almost immediately the other night, the sister of the Rahasia that's currently up:

Auction Hunter found it and posted it, which is where I think the buyer probably spotted it. Unfortunately, there's a bug in my code that purges auctions, and it purged that auction. I wanted it posted somewhere here for records-keeping purposes.Foul

I've always thought I should be collecting Harn... I have an original Harnworld from when I was a kid and had the poster map hung in my room. I love maps!

Missed this one by four minutes, last week.

Looked back through the seller's history and saw this.

I got lucky with two smaller items, and some Acaeum regulars also got some bargains as well.

I let a 4th or 5th print D&D white box go early this week, it had 4-5 supplements too. Box looked to be in great shape, and one of the books was a 1st print I believe. All of it went for around $275... but outside my current post-GenCon2013 budget. This darn white box is one of the few items I wanted to get at GenCon but was outbid on each of them. Oh well, I'll get one next year I hope!

5th. Looked pretty good apart from fairly heavy staple rust, initials and ink stamp(?) on one cover. US-only might've helped keep the end price down a bit but some OCEs without "extras" are still going for pretty much the same.

OMG

I think I'm going to be sick :pale:

I even had a few items from seller in my Watch List, but never saw these listed. I need to lie down.

Here is a nice 4th print set and the booklets appear to be in great shape ... check it out :bounce:

I haven't checked but that one should have a sticker.

(Nice $30+ surcharge - on the current $100 - for anyone bidding from over here).

Perhaps listing the set on two threads isn't the best way to keep the price down, though?

The 4ths are still relatively underrated, IMO. As had been noted before I doubt that oft-repeated "25,000 copies" comment ever applied to that print alone -- perhaps to all 4ths and 5ths combined, at a push, but there's no single, bulk printing for that number of copies apparent in the various transitional forms and numbers of copies seen of each. 02c, anyhow.

This 5th printing looks like it is in alright shape for the price and the dice add a certain cool factor (except where is the 6 sided?)
