Not only is it a 1st print (not a 1st variant, either), it's in pretty damn good shape, too. In my opinion, Stormber erred on the side of caution with those stated conditions. Starting bid at $2000, reserve still unknown, BIN of $5000 (Pretty sure that would be a record!).Any predictions?

Thanks to chromaticknight for the win. But why didn't more of you bid.As for the 1st print. Its in great nick. Its a very good time of the year to sell. And the 1st woody has a great pedigree. Its about time that we saw the $3k barrier beat.

It was in slightly lesser condition than the non-variant stock one currently on eBay.There were 5 serious participants in the private auction, plus a couple of entrants that did not lodge any bids - all members here. The opening bid was $2,000. The bidders dropped out as follows: $2,250, $2,650, $2,800, $3,050, and the winner's final bid was $3,200. So it seems some Acaeum members value the set at a higher figure.
