I'm happy to see that some of you guys care about 2E even though it is not covered by The Acaeum. I always wondered if there were special items with low print runs (e.g. tournament modules) and of collectable value from 2nd edition AD&D. We've seen high sales prices for some items due to high demand (like the Planescape boxes or Necromancer handbook). However, I'm interested in the rare stuff.



Is there something like a R-series or even an orange B1 for 2nd edition?

I would count the Planescape Sketchbook as one of the more sought after 2nd edition items. I have not noticed one of these up for auction. Of the 4 that I know of all were traded/purchased privately. These suckas are rare.

Check here for more info... AD&D Planescape Sketchbook possible value



Of course you would have to count on Adventurer's Guild items on the list of low print run. More on these on this website's main. Collector's are slowly warming up to these but the scope is just too damn big to get heavily involved...brace yourself for Shaun's reply .



Then there is Jade Hare, TSR Spotlight, Legends of the Lance and a few other periodical/newsletter type things that are rarely seen.



Later.

Glad to hear that about Undermountain...  I've got copies of I and II that will probably be going up for auction by the end of the month.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy of the PS Sketchbook.  Any idea on what the private sale price is?  I've had ALOT of people ask me over the past few years if I had it.  Doesn't hurt that I'm a big DiTerrlizi fan too.

As for Adventurer's Guild, if I didn't totally luck out and buy 3 huge lots of them for an average of $3/module, I wouldn't even THINK of trying to collect them all.  Rhea's the only person I've ever talked to that claims to have a full set, but I'm sure there are 2 or 3 people that were working at/for RPGA at the time that have them, and I wouldn't be suprised if there was somebody out there that has a set or two without realizing what it is they are sitting on.  The only thing giving me hope is that I now have slightly more doubles/triples than ones I need, meaning hopefully I'll just be able to trade to finish up my set.

I totally agree about the City of Greyhawk box set...  I usually put all my box set booklets in polybags, but man, that box is FULL.  Talk about bang for your buck.  And the Undermountains were always great too, if only because they gave you a megadungeon, a little plot, and let you run wild.

I've been meaning to pick up copies of Wars and From the Ashes (some of the few Greyhawk things I don't already own), but refuse to pay those high prices.

Oh, some more kinda rare 2E things...  the Player's Secrets of Muden for Birthright is kind of rare, but I think copies of it only got for like $20-35 (haven't looked in awhile).  While it is free on the WotC site, the link for it is totally buried, and there are some slight differences between the PDF and the actual thing put out by the RPGA.  Its bound alot like the earlier Adventurer's Guild modules.

I saw it up for auction ONCE, but I couldn't tell if it was legit or not...  it was a copy of "Orc's Head", which was an unreleased Mystara suppliment for Savage Coast.  If it was one of those mockups where only 6 exist, I'm gonna shoot myself because it only went for $35.  And no, I'm not talking about somebody selling the pdf...  this thing appeared to be an actual book.

The Player's Guides to the Living City are rare, but I've never seen them up for auction.  Mike Kuo has had all 3 versions, but traded them away some time ago (I've got 2 copies of ver 2.0 in shrink).  The Procampur Player's Guide is also rare...  but considering that it is like 12 probably photocopied pages, its more of a curiosity to those of us who love RPGA stuff.

However, the RPGA player's handbooks are pretty common...  never really seen any up for auction, but NobleKnight typically sells them for $5 a pop.

Any clue how rare/collectible the 2e FastPlay adventures are?  I think there were only 2 or 3 (Eye of the Wyvern was one...  can't think of the others offhand).

Let me know what Conditions you seek, and aproximate amount yuo want to pay.   Simply put I will let ya know when I get a set of them at a really great price that matches your Condition.  



The only thing I actually am interested in the amount for is so I know is I have already got more into it that you  are willing to drop.  When I get one in the condition you want I would let you know what I paid and ask you for either a Trade on something or a couple dollars more than I paid.



Seriously Guys I like to make a buck but I have more fun doing passing the items along to others for a Very small profit.  I have sold items for as little as .50 profit.



I just enjoy knowing I have had the item in my hands and I have a Photo of it I took.  I take the Photos of everything Myself.  This is my way of keeping a collection. I enjoy having the Photo of it.



For one with 4 kids and Labs, there is NO WAY I could seriously keep a collection in one piece for any length of time.



OK OK  except the Original box set and Supplements that is my weekness.  I seek a Woodgrain and all the supplements in first print.

Forgot another item that is pretty hard to find:

Here is a picture of it:

Also for those who are curious, here is a picture of the AD&D Play by Mail:

This seller has a couple of L of L newsletters up for sale. I have noticed he is a pretty big DL collector. Perhaps he is selling off.

the Player's Secrets of Muden for Birthright is kind of rare, but I think copies of it only got for like $20-35 (haven't looked in awhile).

... they were actually in print? And I thought they were released only as PDF.



What about the Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas? That thing surely fetches high prices on eBay.



Also, any clues about the Complete Starter Set and the Introduction to AD&D? I haven't seen them on sale on eBay Germany this year. I recently bought both of them on a private deal for 25 €. Are they trash or treasure?

They made Dragonlance phone cards?!?! :

Hogunmark was indeed in print, and only available through RPGA.  You'll see one on eBay every once in awhile.  If you find where on the WotC site you can download it, it will even talk about how it had previously only been released though RPGA.  If I get motivated, maybe I'll scan the cover of my copy.

The Alternity Fast Play rules were available in Dragon...  I forget what number.

From what I've noticed, those Fast Play modules tend to go pretty cheap (for now anyways).  There are a few others

Was tempted to bid on those Legend of the Lance newsletters, but you're lucky I've spent so much in the last month or they would have been mine.
