Almost bid for a couple of things myself, but my wife caught me before I bought them back. ;)

I would not have predicted any of the specific results, though I am pleased with them.  I learn a lot by watching something like this.


Regards,



Stephen

Howdy Folks,


Wow! Some surprises in there. The Players Handbook was a good one. Having an authenticated autograph made on the date of release is a rarity for sure. Good buy Stephen!

The totals were very good for Steve: $2,676.21 bringing the total auction amounts for his collection to: $7,784.27.

Hey the last T1st PHB signed by EGG went for over $1500.00. 8O  Maybe Stephen got a bargain there. :P

Were all of the Gygax autographed True 1st print Player's Handbooks mangled by the printer the way that this one was?  Could explain the value delta...

bonk!

Thanks, Paul.  I'm surprised I won it at that price, to be honest.  I thought it would go for much more.  

This may sound corny, but it's an honor for me to own Stephen's Players Handbook.  You can be sure I'm going to treasure that.

Congratulations on another successful auction.

-Stephen

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Ah, but with your attitude I'm glad you won the auction.  Sometimes having the right person get something is better than getting more money for it.


Regards,



Stephen

Agreed 100% with that, Stephen. :)
Doesn't happen so often in these more commercial times, alas.

If the inscription were just "To Steve" I might have commented on other possible "interests" there, too! ;)
*g* sorry! ^^

Thanks, Al; will do. [Bid was $200+, btw]. I have enough of the background bits-and-pieces from elsewhere to hopefully tie some of these in to. Certainly most of the older material in there would have caused a "mass confusion" effect on the ill-prepared traveller.

Shall see... maybe I'll be similarly confounded!

Oh, Ian, you're going to love your win; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8738633238 :D

(And yes, it will help to tie up more than a few odds-and-ends with regards to your copy of the Revenaunt.

You might be missing some pages: if so, please let me know).
