Wow. Nice lot. I didnt spot the unicorn though. Can you post a pic of the adventure set on top of the fortress of fangs?

That is not the type of unicorn I meant but it is indeed a unicorn :)

Not me, just you :)

I don't know why he told you that. Maybe hoping to outbid you deceitfully :)

Sweet!  

If you don't mind my asking out of curiosity, what Endless Quest Books did you get there?  I can only see Dungeon of Dread.  I have a nice collection of those myself, but it's far from complete.  And what's the story on that original Dungeon Board game?  Condition? All the pieces?

Someday I'd love to find a complete copy of the 80's Dungeon Board Game in nice condition.

Both are fond childhood memories for me.

Looks like an interesting haul of period internal TSR material. So what's in those file folders for LJN (product sketches?) and Conan? Inquiring minds want to know!

So what's the deal with this one of a kind lot?

Like where did it come from? Who did it come from?

Those of us drooling want to know

Mike is correct, most of these will wind up on eBay but we wanted to alert you guys it was coming up. Mostly so it wouldn't slide under the radar but partially so those of you with the best archives can bid.

Also Jon Peterson.

Anyway...

Mike thought this might be a prototype box....

That "prototype" box was most likely a mock up for a catalog.

I'd have to agree. Better pics might help.

Grasshopper is right because my collection pales in comparison to many on here.

I would never ever see a lot of this nature
