I remember there used to be a topic with this title but I couldn't find it...

Anyway, this was interesting. Egg of Phoenix Pt. 1 buried in there. Reasonable ending price.

And 9th Generation in it as well. I am not sure a lot of copies exist. I got few a decade ago, but have never seen another one since. I am curious about the "9th generation module" included but not pictured.

That Egg of the Phoenix is a prepub, I'm pretty sure. Probably unique. I had one of them a long time ago (not Egg I think), IIRC it was printed on a folded stack of dot matrix paper.

I doubt this slipped through the cracks for $15, but someone snagged it quickly:

I've mentioned this several times before but what you had Frank was an editorial copy, not a pre-publication copy as TSR called those versions of R1, R2 and R3. Still very rare and very valuable, but it belongs in the family of editorial copies of works as opposed to the white foldered pre-publication numbered copies.

Welcome back IO.

Oh right, I keep forgetting. Even rarer.

Very interesting! I've never seen modules with the hangtags attached.

We’ve seen a few over the years. Maybe someone here has a collection of them and would share a picture?
