This past weekend, I attended my first ever Origins convention.  :D
I spent a fair amount of $$ on some nifty D&D stuff:

$600 Orange B3 - NM in shrinkwrap

$130 4th printing D&D white box set - EX+ box, NM/M insides

$100 6th printing OCE white box set - MINT box, MINT insides!

$25 World of Greyhawk boxed set - Ex box, Mint insides, also included module WG5 in NM condition

$20 4th printing Chainmail manual - Ex condition

Also, I picked up a variety of more common 1st edition D&D books and modules for average prices.

All in all, I was quite pleased with the con!  :D

My Origins finds pale by comparison...

A) Arduin Grimoires I, II, and III, each for around $20. Not the recent reprint, definitely early prints, though I'm not sure which. Always wanted these, missed out years ago on the original boxed set at a dirt-cheap price, and had to pay a relative premium. But I got them now, and already they have given me some whacked inspiration for my own campaigns. Very cool stuff... PLUS Arduin Dungeon #2: The Howling Tower, which normally can't be had for any price, but I got it for a song ($8!), as it is much scribbled in though otherwise quite useful.

B) Mines of Keridav and Lair of the Freebooters from Gamelords, each at $12. Interesting material chock full of detail from the early days, good solid inspiration...

C) The August 1978 Judges Guild Catalog ($5). An excellent resource for dating products.

D) The four Demons monster folios from Mayfair's Role Aids ($6 each). Still need to re-acquire the main two boxes, Sentinels, and Apocalypse.

E) A bevy of PHBR's from 2E AD&D — at better than discount prices from a small side merchant — all of which I'd sold when I moved from Seattle the last time. I am trying to put together my old 2E AD&D collection, which will be quite useful as sources for HackMaster and C&C games.

F) FEZ I: Valley of Trees, in a brown folio, for $5! The folio is totally trashed, but the module itself is in good if not fine condition.

I have a brown folder Fez. Yours is only the second one I've ever heard of. I've always wondered how many there were.

Ah, I wasn't aware that others had "non-standard" folder colors for their early Mayfair releases too:  while my Fez I is green, my 2 Beastmakers are red, and my Kobold Hall is orange, my Nanorien Stones is also orange.
