Not for investment. But just so I could have them to look at.If given a choice of a shrinked OB3 or an original hand drawn level done by EGG of the Dungeons of Greyhawk, you'd chose the OB3?Heck I'd pay a sizeable sum just for a complete set of color photocopies of the entire "Red Book".

Ms. D&D Supplement V: Kalibruhn 1975 I don't get it?!? All that work. All that historical significance. Sitting around all these years and no one would publish it?!? What the eff?!? Now it's going to be split up and squirrelled away forever. What a loss.

Marlith wrote:So what is getting sold there. What happens if someone buys those and chooses to publish them? By selling the orginal manuscripts do the rights to them transfer?
Marlith wrote:I am not saying publish them as your own but sort of like how children of great authors publish countless volumes of notes written by their fathers. In those cases they own the estate but if someone auctions you an unpublished manuscript do you not then have the rights to it? Just a thought if they are historically relevant and deserve to be published.

bbarsh wrote:My perspective comes from this point: I see no value whatsoever in personal collection items from "industry celebs." From my standpoint, I have to agree with Brian. If I bought something that I "percieved" as a one of a kind, I'd prefer it to stay that way. Now I do see the "interest" in such items. I just don't see why anyone would pay more that few dollars for such items. That is just my personal opinion. But for those of you who do value such items, there has to be a certainty that they are actually one-a-kind items and that the originator is not going to produce more.

Now it's going to be split up and squirrelled away forever. What a loss.That's not necessarily true, on a few fronts: Rob tried to work with TSR to publish many of his projects, but he was basically cut out from that option when Gary was forcibly removed from the company. Rob has published some of his work since, and will continue to do so, hopefully with Tadashi and me as well as other publishers.
