IIRC, it's missing two pages, but they're the player's maps.
I already have C&C so I'll abstain from the prognostications.

Well, it's missing one page (page 9 on one side and page 10 on the other).

While it's never good to be missing a page, these are essentially the equivalent of Player handout maps. Not good that they aren't there, but not as bad as if a page of text were ripped out . . . of course, that is all just a matter of opinion.

Damn...... I definitely overshot. I guess it pays to read the auction.

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

The way things have been skyrocketing lately, I'm not convinced I overshot, and I'm the highest. (I was playing the people, not the item...Creep, don't let me down!)

Really now, Deimos . . . what do you take me for? I've been around the ebay block a couple of times by now.

BTB, just curious. How many watchers do you currently have anyway?

27 - that's actually the highest I've ever had on an item. The only other thing I've sold that's cracked 20 watches is Star League for Battletech (love those Battletech collectors! :D )

Ah, damn. I forgot we had a reputable & knowledgable seller, that changes everything. :evil:

Still, I'm not giving up my hopes yet.
