I picked up a lot of my collection before the craze hit. I remember years ago getting about 40 boxed sets like Ashes, Return to
ToEE, etc, from a book dealer in Michigan for $100. I imagine the rares will be worth even more with every year that goes by. For every collector that drops out, seven more pop up, and there are finite amounts of things like
ST1, brown boxes, etc.
My goal has always been to have one of the largest/most diverse
RPG collections out there, and I think I did pretty well. Time to let others enjoy them.
If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.
