Indeed, even if boxes are incomplete, this is an awesome score!

I am very interested in hearing about that loose leaf copy of Thieves Guild 10.

By the time 10 came out, they were no longer printing loose leaf....as far as I know.

Are we looking at an unknown printing, or is that a photocopy?

That has to be a photocopy. Only 1-5 had looseleaf versions, as far as I know.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

I have been looking for these "on the cheap" for a while. Individually, they seem to go for $75-100, so (assuming these are in the condition that they appear to be in) I am pretty happy with them at $50 per book. I am not really a 3.X collector, but the price on these 3.5 volumes has me pretty happy

That's a great purchase!

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

I haven't posted any pics in a while but I just had a spell of good fortune and thought I'd share...

So I was visiting my flgs picking up my pre-order yesterday:

...which are superb and I quite like, then the owner pointed out a stack of old books that came in from a customer that he put aside for me (knowing that I like this stuff

)

... which looked very interesting, here's what they were:

Except for the stain on the G1, all in tip-top shape, complete (even the DL11), and a few of them first prints too... I've got a spot in my collection for most of those goodies

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Hey everyone,

Well nothing really major but these finally arrived today:

Vintage Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - Players Handbook - 3rd Printing - 1979

** eBay auction listing blocked. Please enable cookies in your browser for this site and for eBay! **

Vintage Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Books (4 books)

** eBay auction listing blocked. Please enable cookies in your browser for this site and for eBay! **

I don't think I overpaid on them taking both of those as one lot.
Considering I also have to take into account shipping to Hong Kong for these on my final bids...

The early printing of the PHB was in much better shape than the other PHB so I was happy about that.

Best regards,
Ronald

Yup, it was me. I didn't want to post anything until I had it in my hands for fear of jinxing it. It was described well, got it just as described with 6 Reference Sheets and an errata sheet.....no pencil marks anywhere even though he says in the description there is. Box is solid, the couple tears at the corner/edge are just in the paper coating, the box is solid all the way through. Anyway, I'm stoked.

P.S. May consider offers if anybody wants a solid woodie......?

Yup, third print. The guy did a great job of describing it, I'm kinda surprised he didn't realize what it is actually worth. Hell, maybe he only paid $20 for it, so, at $450 he 20x his investment.

Was any of the following part of the deal?
-Meeting at a crossroads at midnight
-Contracts signed in blood
-Renunciation of Christ & of all his works
-A seven- or ten-year window to enjoy your purchase

Great haul. I'm a bit disappointed you're now open to offers. I would hope such a find would be kept and cherished.
