By the way, why is the Gypsy auction moving so much more slowly this time than last time:

Is it the woody?

Probably!  I bet there is a flurry of bidding on gypsy from the losers of the woody auction.

You kept the link, Stephen. Smart! :)



This time around it's an "original" part 1 plus photocopied part 2, if I read correctly ("This module consists of photocopied pages of the original dot-matrix printout given out to GenCon 19 Tournament DM's").



Last time it was "originals" of all three parts (including two copies of part 2, one of which was still sealed) "plus a pre-tourney letter from Frank and [the seller's] gencon19 Judges scheduling letter".

Of course.  That would make a difference as well.

Howdy All,


Yes the ROUND 1 is a photocopy, an extra from the TSR Reference Library. I traded it for a bunch of items from John Rateliff back in the late 90's. The items I traded him went into the library. At that point I had never seen a copy of Gypsy.

ROUND 3 is not offered but was essentially a map and 2-3 paragraphs on the plot so far. Not much.


Futures Bright,

Paul

Thanks for that clarification, Paul.

Oh boy, I'm going to be so glad when that keyword-spamming B2's gone!

Or, if no-one buys it for ritual destruction, are you going to re-list it? :o
Please, nooo.....

I'm so tempted to bid on the stupid thing, for some reason.  I hope Paul gets $200 for it, as that seems to be the current rate.  :lol:

It has 106 hits and 1 watcher! I am confident I won't have to relist it...

Make that 2 watchers!  (And the question/answer section is hilarious!)

I will be very happy once all your early print rulebooks are done tonight so I can record the totals and get them off my watch list. :)

The brownie will go for just over $3,500.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

You mean this "brownie"?

It does have a brown (stain) on the back page.

It is a good thing I dont have any money right now because the temptation to lob a bid in is freaking killing me. :twisted:
