I think I mentioned getting taken to the cleaners at the local comic/game store after I sold a bunch of old comics to them, yes?

Well that's what happened.  I sold a longbox for $50, went in a few days later and one issue of Cry For Dawn from my box was on the "wall of fame" (comics worth more than $50) for $70.  My Akira ish. #1 was up for $25 on the "high priced" wall.



And that's two out of probably a hundred or more.

Anyway.

With my WHOPPING FIFTY DOLLAR STORE CREDIT    I browsed around a bit and discovered, on their bookshelf, someone had sold their old OAD&D hardback collection.  Haven't gone back for those yet, but I plan on it today or tomorrow.  But the real news was that I discovered a Greyhawk Folio, complete, VG.  What's more, it was REALLY complete: it even had the Minifigs catalogue sheet inside, plus a pack of as-yet-unidentified hex-mapping paper (single sided A4, margin offsets 1/2" on top and bottom, 1/4" on the sides). and 2/3rds of a pack of Armory character sheets and a Monsters & Treasures Assortment #1, Levels 1-3.  The price was $20 and verily I scooped it up.  I've got a spare set of Greyhawk books (no maps, no box) and a spare World of Greyhawk folio booklet (no map, no folio), so coupled all together I've got a double-strength Greyhawk folio set with extra reference material, pristene maps and folder, some brand-new Armory chara. sheets, some mapping paper and an M&T 1-3 which will go in the "sale" pile, and I'll go after the other books later, and add them to the stuff I plan on selling/auctioning/whatever-ing.

All that and I'm flat broke.  Not too shabby, eh?

Check the mapping paper before you use it:  http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/miscpages/dm.html  

If you have the TSR Hex Pads or Hex Sheets rather than the much-more-common Hexagonal Mapping Booklet then you've found quite the steal and can sell them on eBay to get even with the store owner for the lame offer on your comics.

I know I have some sheets of this hex paper from back in the day....a TSR wizard logo was on it, right?

  Is a bundle of 10 or so sheets worth anything?  I think I paid a dollar or something like that for it.  Expensive, at the time.
