RTTOEE will also probably always command good prices due to its pedigree and connection to the original, abut due to its high print run I dont think it will ever command super high prices. I also believe that the RPGA special Greyhawk Gazetteers will be very collectible 20 years down the road as well.Aside, why does it seem that this site is becoming more and more filled with 3rd edition stuff. :? Nothing at all against 3rd edition, but this site is definitely not a 3rd ed site and yet a lot of the recent threads are focusing on 3rd edition. :?

For instance, what if by some gross editing error, WotC released an item with a potential inflammatory "politically incorrect" statement . . . or maybe an item that infringed on the copyright of another company. They were recalled (or destroyed), but a few copies managed to get into circulation . . . Presto! A modern rare!

You have the special edition DM guide, though not sure of those numbers. There is also the limited run prints and lithographs they were, or are still are, selling with Magic and D&D art.

People see it for what it is and avoid it. WoTC are just banking on the fact that some mugs will buy the stuff thinking its rare and not just the same crap they haven't been able to shift already.
