Yay!

I don't win at eBay often, but today I got a steal.

I know, I know...D&D plastic minis, but these are Giant sized figs, cool looking, and normally ebay INDIVIDUALLY for $15-20.  I got two for $9.99.

Yay me!

Back to our regularly scheduled OD&D and 1E collecting...

Just be grateful da coug's paws don't stretch that far, yet, or that you haven't rubbed his fur the wrong way.

Heh, I'd never even bid on his auctions, I've been warned here.

I only posted the MM; was leaving anyone interested to check the seller's other auctions.
(The MM is certainly a better looking copy, though )

So have you fixed up that other PHB and gonna flog it now, Alan?
Would probably be £30+ for the next step up condition-wise, unless one slipped under the radar.
(Hey, that's about the same price as a non-mint WD#33, or whatever, no? ).

You need a bigger house...

Heh. I'm no expert on that.

For the PHB with the split at the top of the spine, a small amount of rubber glue should work, though. Would certainly be easy to improve the appearance, anyhow, and not hurt too badly if listed as a repair (certainly less than that the photo showing the split did to the seller, last time-- was a very nice copy other than that, IIRC).

(A less scrupulous seller might color-fill any white tear line still visible (it's a dark cover) and just leave the condition description in vague terms.
Have been on the receiving end of those before...).
