I was told this is the grandfather of Magic the Gathering so I could really be interested in it...  :D

really???  8O  i've been told that it'd be an EPT item but, as a matter of fact is a sort of boardgame... (see the cheats in the pics?)

anyway, i dont know if this one is a 1st or 2nd print: i have always seen 2nd prints with a box while here there seems it is a booklet, a board and some cheats only...

War of Wizards isn't an EPT item but it is by M.A.R. Barker.  It is a separate game.  The one listed is actually a second print.  The first print has a GK logo and the third print comes in the box.

Book of Artifacts by The Dragon Tree and then waaay down at the bottom is a 1E Monster Manual with the Lizard-Man logo 8)
BTW, what's the story on these MM? Is a second print as good as a first?
Thanks,


Nice pictures compared to most other sellers he is honest although the shipping seems a bit high, it is still reasonable. After all this lot will be heavy with all those HB's. None of the Hardback MM's are especially rare and the second print MM is even less so and this one is not in very good condition.

I think this game is the grandfather of "Shazamm!" the french boardgame, but the real grandfather of Magic should probably be "Challenge" by Lion Rampant.

Here are some Wham PC sheets:

Wizard logo, the condition is not very good and the price is starting to get up there, but it might be worth it for someone who doesn't not have any and is looking for a stop gap.. :)

Well just reading off this site, if they are very fine (for argument's sake), then the package is "worth" $232. As a bonus, you're getting them all in one sale, so that's gotta be worth a $10-$30 premium to some people.

And given Baltron's Beacon, as but one example, is going for at least 50% more than its "market" rate, it seems consistent that one or two people could value this equally unusual item 25% more than its "market" value.

Of course, if value is subjective then...

Moreover, it seems the buyers are looking for a local pickup and a private sale on the side. So they could be paying for the privilege to buy something else.

Now I wouldn't pay that much.. and I agree its crazy.. but at least a few people think very differently and there's nothing wrong with that in my book.

Sorry about that.  I was just trying hard to get this current round of stuff listed before my feet got any colder  :)   Shipping across the pond is fine, I've done it before.
