AD D Monster Manual 1st ed 1st print UK softback rare | eBay

The Erratic Sheet- When one of these rare, magical sheets of papyrus is placed in a normal AD&D book, it transforms the book into a more rare or earlier printing of the book. Beware, 1 in 10 of these items are cursed so that they degrade the book by 1d4 condition levels.

I would hate to see what it takes to rate more than "some wear".

Looks like the first edition book, which tended to explode out of its binding. I put mine into a notebook rather than fight the trend. :cry:

Dog not included?

eBay listings

Is it just me, or does the idea of a dog sprawling all over the book kind of make you think twice about purchasing?

I kind of like the one for the Ravenloft Starter Set. You can see the raw chicken in the cat's claws...and the look of pure evil in its eyes:

ROFL! That isn't 'raw chicken'! :P

They are soft plastic coverings you glue on your cat's claws to keep them from scratching stuff without having to declaw them. They last about a month and then come off when the cat sheds it's claws. Then you glue on a new one. :D

That's.. bizarre. I can't imagine trying to get my cats used to that, heh.

Nothing wrong with the item, but the question/response regarding printing is kinda funny. (Fess up, whoever!)

If you're going to point a seller here, at least look at the auction picture/Acaeum description first -- sellers aren't very reliable on figuring out these things.

The wizard logo makes it between 4th+ and 7th. 5th/6th have chits instead of dice, and 7th has B2, not B1. By process of elimination it's 4th+. (Or some previously undocumented variant, but you won't find that out by asking the seller, of course).

I could understand if you were the first bidder on this auction with a $0.01 opening bid, but I can't figure this one out for the life of me.
