Noticed previous GenCon auctions got a bit confused on those, too! But who hasn't? No black folder, then? $500 sounds an interesting realisation, either way.

harami2000 wrote:Blackmoor wrote:Well it was missing a page, hard to complete.$300 discount for a photocopied page ain't bad.Anyhow, is not the only copy that was missing one page. Would have thought there might've been a connection, there, even given the stated-hybridness of that one up for sale.

Blackmoor wrote:Line drawn cover, no indication of the printing on it. It is a nice addition to my collection, it is getting harder and harder to find reasonably priced stuff to buy that I do not own so this type of stuff is a real find for me.
