HERE IS WHY!
A large lot (To me anyway...) I purchased a week or so back.
Spent ALL of my gathered up NTPRGCON Funds to buy it too... and then some...
Now I must find a way to replace that fund ...
Here is the Listing...
** expired/removed eBay auction **The Package was sitting on the porch when I got home today.
As I walked up the walk to my house, I could already see that the box had ripped open (Completely) with a tear along one entire side and my heart missed a few beats...
I could see everything in the box without even picking the box up!
Got the box inside and opened it up the rest of the way, knowing I had probably lost a bunch of stuff.
Here is what I found:
TSR AD&D Core Rule Books...
ALL are First Prints:
Players Handbook (Orange Flyleaf's, so its a 1st Beta print I guess) Very Fine
Dungeon Master Guide (D runs off the cover) Very Fine
Monster Manual Very Fine to Near Mint (This book crinkled when I opened It up!)
(OH MY GOODNESS!)
2nd Print of Deities and Demigods - Very Fine (144 pages, with Thanks on page 4)
OD&D White Box Set 5th print
Box Poor to Fair, Crushed with some tears... OK POOR
Men-VG
Monsters-Good (cover is separated)
Underworld-VF
(There are some White Reference Sheets present, but I think not complete)
Orange colored digest sized sheets (they look like the Reference Sheets for the OD&D Box Sets)
OD&D Supplements:
4th Print Greyhawk - Fair to Good (Cover loose, otherwise nice)
2nd Print Blackmoor -- Very Fine to
NM1st Print Eldritch Wizardry -- Fine (Slight fraying along the spine but NOT loose, some writing on the notes pages at back in pencil)
Strategic Review Vol. 1, No. 1 -- Near Mint
Blank Hex Sheets Pad (Red Glue Strip still on the top)
Small Hex; Top tearing with 8 unused white sheets remaining, no backboard
Plus one more sheet that has a detailed wilderness map drawn in colored pencil.
Two Blue PC Records Sheets (used, pencil only)
Copyright 1977-TSR Hobbies, Inc.
17 Dice- All are the Old type of dice, most in great condition others rounded corners, for which I have no clue as to values.
Monster & Treasure Assortment Sets:
All have Lizard Logos and all are Very Fine to Near Mint.
Set One: 1st Print (Outdoor Geomorphs listed as Future Products)
Set Two: 1st Print (Hobbits at encounter 43)
Set Three 2nd Print (Set Three in Products List)
Judges Guild Stuff:
FIRST PRINT (White) Initial Guidelines Booklet I -
VF (Hole punched)
Guide to the City State Book
VFFull set of Four Piece CSIO Maps VF-NM
Campaign Map One Set NM
I think this might be part of the initial package sent to folks who signed up at the 76 GENCON!
I had bid on and lost a few auctions for the CSIO Book over the years, never quite able to snag a copy.
And I had never even seen a copy of the White Initial Guidelines Booklet I… at least not in person.. … SWEET!
Two three hole binders.
One is plain with nothing but home made maps on grid paper.
The other binder has a seal of University of Northern Iowa on the front.
Mostly filled with Home made stuff…
Xerox Sheets (Most of them from Dragon Magazines), Home brew PC Sheets (They look homebrew anyway), Filled out PC Sheets, Game Notes by the
DM, etc.
I WILL be forced to sell a lot more things to make up for this purchase, But I am VERY GLAD I robbed the fund for this lot of items.
