Couldn't talk Gary out of auctioning the stuff himself so I swooped in and bought up a helluva lot of it. All that stuff belonged to Dave Dimery, friend of Gary's and TSR's PR head for a while. Samples to be given away but stuck in a closet somewhere and unearthed after many years.The shrink'd original DR's went for about $105 each, iirc, and I sold most of them for $300 or so, several at Origins. This was before the reissue of course. Got a couple shrink'd 1st print Greyhawk folios too, in exceptionally untattered condition.
