Yes. I think you're right. Was it only the UK, that the Set was incorporated into a single rulebook? I think $99 is over the top!

Gorgeous looking copy (hopefully, from a collector p.o.v., no damage to the spine binding by opening), but beware of sellers who list abe as their guide to pricing. ^^

Generally goes for $15-30, but could see that one running to a bit more in an open auction.

eBay listings

For the miniature junkies, a whole lot of them there. I think Hamilcar is a member here, but I could be mistaken.

On the high side. More like $75-ish, I would think.

Let mirth prevail!

That and considering its Titan listing it as Very Fine/Near Mint condition which means that its likely Very Good conditon, at best.

Looks like they still like to steal info from the Aaeum and not give Foul credit for the usage of it.

"Original Shrinkwrap" Holmes Basic Set (Wizard Logo) with an excessive BIN, but with a few interesting 'extras' -

** expired/removed eBay auction **

1-Original Dice Set Unopened (1979?)

Original Information Sheets from TSR

2-Your D&D Club: Starting and Running (1982)

3-Role Playing Game Association Membership Application (1981)

4-TSR Gift Catalog (1981?)

The "Gift Catalog" doesn't look familiar to me - anyone have one? Is it an RPGA catalog?

I haven't seen the 'D&D Club' sheet before, either. Maybe it was written by these guys:

Titan being a scumbag? I'm shocked sir, absolutely shocked. :roll:

**

A bit of self-advertising here. I've got a Silver Anniversary boxed set up, with the contents being pristine (gently read them once, then bagged them myself). The box has one ding on either side, but is otherwise in fantastic shape as well. Would really like to keep this myself (it's a great little set), but need to find money to buy new stuff from somewhere..

Bidding is at... $0.01 right now

No reserve, of course.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I'm also listing a crapload of stuff over the next week, getting in just before the Christmas rush. A lot of it will be 3rd Edition (don't hurt me!), but two Rod fo the Seven Parts boxed sets, 2 From the Ashes sets, some Vecna adventures, Planes of Chaos, other PS stuff, etc etc, will be going up too. Nothing particularily rare, but lots of nice uncommon stuff

The Dragon #1

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Seller also has Strategic Review 1-7, Dragon 2-6, and what looks to be a first print Arduin Grimoire vol. 1.

The Arduin Grimoire is not a first print. The first prints don't have Dave Hargrave's name on the cover.

Hmmm...wish I could remember where I read that the artwork difference specified which printing it was. Oh well...lesson learned.

I've been thinking about that BIN on bclarkies #1 dragon. How long will it last? I just don't like magazines all that much.

Yes the artwork also determines printing. The earlier prints have same artwork as the one for auction with no name being earlier than with name. The artwork did change after this to something else.

C'mon buy it, you know that you want it.
