For example; I've been seriously collecting these gems for about a year now and I've never seen a Fazzlewood. I've heard there are only 5 known copies, yet a Tsoj's which I've seen 3 times on eBay plus a few private offers is more valuable? ST1's from the mid-80's have been up a few times as well and command huge money, but a first print Palace of the Vampyre Queen which has far more significance being the first module made is also less valued? And what about all the research Frank did on proving the Black-folder is the first print, was it ever confirmed? And if so wouldn't this sky rocket the value of this thought 2nd print? I could go on with a few more, and I'm sure many of the gang has had similar thoughts on this subject. So I'll finish by saying I'm a collector not a reseller so I'm not trying to inflate or undervalue prices of some of these items I have or would like to have. I'm just trying to understand the guidelines or how to read between them. Opinions Greatly Valued,MikeAlso could someone post a link to Frank's (Deadlord36) research on the Black-Folder POTVQ. I've been digging around his almost 1000 posts, and have lost my mind trying to find it.
Keep in mind that Fazzlewood didn't lead to much: O1 The Gem and the Staff. And it's verbatim to the module.
Plus the name "Fazzlewood" sounds ridiculous.
Tsojconth, Inverness and Tamoachan all lead to iconic AD&D adventures that would make most gamers' most memorable modules list.
ST1 is valuable because it actually looks like a lost TSR module from the old days, and it seems to be extremely rare. Plus it's UK-only which gives it added cachet. And it's the most difficult of all of them to forge.
In essence, you're arguing logic in a pastime, collecting, that is mostly predicated on emotion and nostalgia.
