Jason---

I have a couple of sets of Bridge of Sorrows.  I'll look to see if I have a spare shield in either.

$5 at a nearby used bookseller placed behind the pathfinder books (likely to hide them from folks like me). Complete with all the maps, uncut/punched pieces (lol). If anyone has the skinny on the boxes they came in (empty) please PM me.

I always hated this thread because blood pressure and envy. I like it fine now :)

Not so much a find as much as an opportunity!

Turns out a friend of mine works with Zeb Cook. He let me send in my 2e Players Handbook and DMG for him to sign :)

Just got them back! Super stoked!

Pretty obscure print run... just my thing :)

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

After about a year of trying to get this deal done, I now have this in my possession:

The cover looks a little rough but the paper is very fragile so it is actually in quite good condition.

It does lead me to ask, does anyone else have a copy?

It's The Official Dungeon of GenCon IX (2nd print, Red Cover) self-published by Bob Blake.
I do not have a 2nd print Mark, but I do have a 1st print.
If anyone knows of another 2nd print, please let me know, I'd really like to get one (well done Mark!).


Shrink is not a condition

Good to know Bill.

My next question is what is the difference between a 1st and 2nd print aside from the red cover?

Inside the red cover are the two modules:

Hi everyone, I don't usually go in for collecting character sheets, but saw this on ebay and it looked interesting.  It doesn't seem to match up with any of the descriptions on our reference pages... it's the 1977 version of the Wham character sheets, side-tearing, all light blue pages, and it sealed in plastic - but I'm not sure if that's original: the baggie it's in is sealed, about 1 inch longer than the booklet, and not like any TSR SW I've seen.  The pad looks brand new.  Appreciate any thoughts & comments :)

Second printing; The wrapper is something it was put in by a prior owner to help protect it.

Character Sheets  <== under "1977 Character Sheets"

Fairly recent but getting hard to find, so I was quiet surprised when I was browsing a small online book store and ran across these.

My son was recently gifted a 1980 Gold TSR Game Wizards belt buckle that was owned by Richard Garfield. He was an acquaintance of my father's who has been in the war gaming community since the late 70's.  I am trying to find a value of this item since my son is wanting to wear it and I feel he should be putting it away as a treasured item. Any help in where to look for this information would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say post some photos and create a new thread in the Appraisals folder. I'm sure someone will chime in. Good luck
