Cheers, Scott

Also (aside, to Paul/BTB(?)) "House Copy" was written on the cover sheet. Are such inscriptions an exception to the grading rules? (NM stated).

I think it is generally accepted that autographs  don't detract from condition (provided the autograph is from someone who has some sort of connection to the product.   )  Of course, individual collectors might place more or less value on an autographed item as befits their personal taste.

"House Copy"  isn't exactly the same as an autograph, but in this case, I think it is generally viewed that way.  So I'd be inclined to say that it doesn't affect condition as the seller is weewarriors himself and he is verifying its authenticity.

However, the D&D collecting community benefits from the fact that it is so tightly knit.  Even if a2jeff were to sell it in a few years, we would all remember he purchased it and be able to trace the words  "House Copy"  back to Weewarriors.

As collectors come and go and years pass, it may be that "new" collectors will not be familiar with this turn of events, nor will they have any sort of proof that this copy is the actual Wee Warriors house copy.  What is NM with an authentic  "House Copy"  written on it, may be FN with big, ugly letters on it in 20 years.

Something to think about . . .
