Ditto!

Never mind! Turns out i never got the 'missed delivery card' and it was returned to sender. Who then sent it back to me free-of-charge!

Well that makes coming back from a holiday feel even better.

Im almost put off by the sheer amount of effort it takes to value the whole lot. Unsure on the other stuff but will probably go for 500-900?

The condition on the Tomb of Horrors seems iffy given the massive stain.

Reshrunk? Shrink looks a bit dodgy. Maybe thats a thing with RS1 I dunno. I wouldn't pay SW prices for it though...

IMHO, that shrink is on par with that era. Can't say 100% without seeing it in person.

The shrink looks legit to me, but the module itself, with the extant corner damage appears to be in VF or VF- condition. I wouldn't think that would break $100 but for the presence of the flimsy plastic covering. Which means it hasn't been written on, but it hasn't prevented all of the corner wear. Overpaying for shrinkwrap seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse, but shrink modules are now treated like the ne plus ultra versions, regardless of the condition of the module.

Ne plus ultra? Double plus good, but only in the Eurythmics sense.

By the way sauromatian its been good to see you hitting your high contrarian stride of late. You had a down period for much of this year where you were only mildly snarky. Welcome back.

The great reopening had us all optimistically looking forward to a world where cynicism would fade away, where we would have better things to do than tear each other down. Now it's back to the end-of-the-world as normal.

I dont know the seller and his reputation, but this copy has now reached a price tag which is even below the recent trends for the rares we are currently observing:

This copy is of course missing a page, hence incomplete and the toner marks on this would lead one to believe that the pages do not belong with a black foldered version. This would not be the PVQ to buy at anywhere near this price (in my opinion).

Torn folder.
Clearly a photocopy. Early, so maybe a Lou Zocchi copy stuck in torn folder, of something someone did at Kinkos.
And the modern replacement page.

This looks like something someone who happened upon a damaged folder put together out of scraps.

Still, a fool at their money and all that. It'll sell to someone and be the jewel in their collection.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I've always wondered as to whether a copy serves its purpose with some collectors. If you buy it and never intend to sell it, does it matter if it is a fake if you don't know? The enjoyment for most is to own something rare. Obviously the fraud part is deplorable, but it's sort of like a doctor prescribing a placebo for someone with the flu who is begging for antibiotics. In the end, the person gets better and doesn't know the difference.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.
