I say this b/c it would not be entirely impossible to actually rebound a DMG with those MM pages in them. 2) Secondly and even more importantly, a price like this is certainly going to potentially encourage others to at least attempt to do so.Something to think about....
The Collector's Trove wrote:Howdy All,Just to clarify. The DMG price of $562 was for a Dave Sutherland 1st print. There is a continuing misperception about this. It was a 1st print.The 2nd Alpha that just sold is now one of 3 prints that we know of: mine, plevich's, and now this one. No others have ever sold on eBay correctly identified as 2nd Alpha printings. This is a first.The confusion is because the Sutherland auction was the first time anyone identified the 1st printing as we now know it. Before that the DMG with MM pages was considered the 1st print. When I changed the chronology by way of research, Scott assumed I was using the old chronology in the auction listing and he applied my new chronology to Dave's 1st print of Dave's calling it a 2nd Alpha. So the one listed under the section on DMG values at the Acaeum as a 2nd Alpha is actually a 1st print.Also, the rarest DMG is the 3rd Beta because it never made it to outer shipping. It is likely that only 1 or 2 exist if any.Futures Bright,Paul
