I told Peter that would sucker anyone not familiar with the Lake Geneva printings. :twisted:

Different composition staples... Rust; what rust?

Anyone used to handling stacks of rusty supplements (other than T1st Greyhawks) is working under a totally false premise if trying to compare condition on that basis alone.

Personally I think it might creep (no pun intended) a bit higher than that. There are enough people who want a 1st (of sorts) to push it closer to $2k (perhaps

). But you never know; they might all be on holiday.

Puts his own stake in the ground. I might have two 3rd prints for sale in a few days at this rate (hopefully checks bank balance :cry:

Hrm, I suppose if I had a copy I'd have known that. :oops:

However, I don't think you can really call the set complete if it doesn't have staple rust...I'm out, guys. :lol:

I am dead in the water if that is my final bid, its less than a full bid increment. :wink:

Sorry, man, but that's just what this finely tuned predatory machine was hoping to hear. I've been filing my teeth over night... :twisted:

Man, reading that old thread linked in the auction really brings back fond memories of John, aka aneoth. Anyone hear from him anymore? He was fun to have around.

Badmike and I have talked to him several times since he sold his stuff. The last time I spoke to him was about a month ago. We got together and had some BBQ and just yakked about things. I know he has been really busy with work. I tried to get him and Mike to go to GenCon with me but both have things going on this weekend. I wish I could make it but instead I will be here in Dallas hanging out at the Great American Videogame Expo instead. Maybe next year...
