The white sticker say "TS Bonus Pack" which means it was bundled with a bunch of the other TS supplements and sold at a discounted price (similar to the combo packs): 10th Anniversary

Also, means it is very rare.

I've never seen a 10th anniversary set like that. Where is the bundle or was it removed? Generally if the bundle was disassembled they are no different than regular copies.

Mark wasn't stating that it is a 10th anniversary pack, he was stating that it was similar to a 10th anniv. pack in that multiple items were being bundled to sell off excess items rather than watch them linger in the warehouse. If I may be so bold as to reply in Mark's absence...

Shrink is not a condition

Right, I didn't mean it was one of THE 10th anniversary sets I was just wondering what the box set was bundled with but maybe they put everything in the box.

It would be interesting to know what was in that box. It certainly had the space to contain additional items. Unlikely that the purchaser would open it to find out though. Has anyone ever seen what was in this bundle? I haven't seen this particular one before. Nice to see something new.

My guess is the bundle might contain the following:

$15.00 TSR - TOP SECRET S.I. (1987)
$5.95    TS1 - Operation: Starfire (1987)
$5.95    TS2 - The Doomsday Drop (1988)
$5.95    TS3 - Orion Rising (1988)
$9.95    TSAC3 - Covert Operations Sourcebook (1988)

$42.80 Total?

I was thinking the winning bidder could weight the box and then we could figure out the combination of modules that weighed the same.

Also, did they do this with anything else? Not looking to leg up, truly curious - what other anomaly bundles are out there?

FYI: bidnip.com's sniping is currently failing. Other sniping services may be having issues too - you may want to check.

If someone here won that Stormbringer auction I wanted... I would have crushed that selling price. ***grrrrrrrrrr***

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

I was vascilating on the thread in which to post this... not that I was in the running, but it seems like a pretty tremendous pick up:

1st Woodgrain, 1st Greyhawk, 2nd Chainmail, etc, all from the original owner.

Good question. Is the beaten-up woodgrain box by itself worth ~$1,250-1,500 nowdays?

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I did put the item in my watching list early this morning, nearly certain it was listed with an auction format only.
Tonight, the listing is ended with a BIN price of only £7.

I've just asked to the seller if it sold, yes it sold. Strangely, the seller told me that price was not a great concern, being aware of the rarity of the item.
I should have placed my bid immediately.

Surely the deal of the month for the buyer, maybe a member here or a reseller ?

Yup. There was somebody else selling them too. I got mine for less than $40 late last year. Didn't one go for just $30 recently?
