Fun spectator sport, huh? I'd've been left in the dust on that one: was thinking to leave a proxy bid ~$225-275. Bet it was in better condition than Frank's cautious "unseen" assessment.Still only got a photocopy of the 2nd, but know I didn't pay that much for the 1st which makes it a bit more difficult...

One of the more experinced collectors (the guy who owns the mint Vampire Queen that was there for display) told me he examined it and it is basically a 1st print with the second print cover sheet also there as well. As far as I'm concerned, I got the steal of the auction.Now to buy all the archiving materials to do justice to this baby.Mark

And it had a photocopied map, possibly like Tadashi's...? Hmm. Did I guess in advance that that might be the same sheet, too? *waits eagerly to find out*
Blackmoor wrote:One other thing I just remembered, the auction also included a 10th anniversary combo pack of a bunch of Gangbusters stuff including the boxset. Well the auction caller dropped it on the floor and broke the shrink wrap right open. The peice still went for $70.00 or so, but should have gone for more. Real bad break for the guy who owned the set.

Is almost as likely that, as with Tadashi's copy, they might've distributed a few minus that map and had to send tri-folded photocopies along later, to those who noticed.(Would love to know if it was the same map that was missing! )

But, the missing map was not the only issue. There were also tears in the top and bottom of the folder (about an inch each.) Good buy, but not the steal.
