That would be 4 at most, right? Five would be mid-single figures.

...original D&D box set... "this was the personal copy of a very early TSR employee. Also in the box was a flyer for GEN CON 2 or 3. It went for, like, $3000." Is that a typo? was there a loose cover sheet with that set, just inserted loose?

Gotta drive 5 hours to get to my stash, so that's a scheduling/time thing... but I'll dig around with an eye toward what collectors would really want vs old junk I don't particularly care about.

Further, I thought the employee associated with that copy didn't join until 1975.THAT again. It was a standard brownbox but without any stick-on cover/side pieces. The cover sheet mighta been in the box, maybe not; I don't recall. And iirc the booklets were not 1st prints. I think this piece belonged to Tom Wham.

ExTSR wrote:(otoh, I know where that data is still stored...) I stand firmly by my assessment that it was NOT EVER a 'production run', but merely a leftover. otoh, I've never seen another brownbox sans stick-ons, and that alone holds value.
