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.

VermilionFire wrote:Nice win, improvstone! I don't think you'll be disappointed. Part of the fun of eBay was seeing who came in second, third, etc. but that's no longer possible.
NetRodent wrote:Indeed. Was it ever revealed who the set originally belonged to?
I sculpted both Kings, both Wizards and the Dwarf pawn. I was a 3-D Sculptor at TSR for just over 2 years, then marketing at Revell/Monogram Models for a while. Then product development for a large collectibles company. I now do freelance development-sculpting-mold making etc.I don't do a lot of fantasy stuff these days, some of the pieces are getting hard for me to see!
