Wow! So this is really heating up. How much did the last one go for? Anyone remember? I think it was about 2 months ago.

It's the (perceived) condition it is in that's pushing this one high. I reckon it's gonna bottom out at £118.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

The last one went for about 95 pounds. I forget the exacta mount but it didn't hit a 100.

Sigh, I was really keen on that one but it rocketed out of my price range in no time at all. Oh well. Probably a good thing, as this is already going to be an expensive week for me as far as ebay goes...

Doesn't look like much of a difference in condi, plus that one came with a nice Blackmoor.

I did all I could.......... ifearyeti seems to have a lock on this one......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... &rd=1&rd=1

I can't picture myself spending $200 on it........ It does look to be in NM condition though. I have had one before, but the cover was not good and was even separted and the inside was marked up quite a bit. I have no idea where it is now. Perhaps Badmike has it, not sure though.

I never got this when I bought your collection...perhaps you sold or traded it before? Maybe you should do a search, you might have a super secret cache of goodies you forgot about?

An auction of junk, but has three different sets of rubbing transfers. Don't know if they are used or not:

Its got the silver back, not the more common blue one.

I can't recall noticing a silver-backed one go.

Cheers,

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

There was a discussion on this a couple years ago, which is the last time one has been up for auction. It's a 10th anniversary TSR D&D chess set for employees at the time. David "Zeb" Cook commented that he had one but it was not for sale. It's all pewter and only a few dozen or so were produced. I won the last one for about $550 if I remember correctly. It's a beautiful set and it even has Gygax's autograph on it. He signed it "pawn pusher" with his name. The pix are up on the board somewhere.

Did anyone contact this guy to see who it is that is selling this set? Might be someone important. :wink:
