Mars wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:The only problem is that now I have breached the $1K+ for 1 item benchmark. 15 years ago I thought I was insane for spending $100 on a single item. After the first purchase at that price, the second was so much easier, ... slippery slope.
PM-Knight wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:These just arrived last night and I was pretty happy with all of them, except for the Player's Handbook, which appeared to be cropped poorly. The bottom of the pages have too much white space and the tops of the pages are cut at the header, almost cutting off the text.** eBay auction listing blocked.

Zenopus wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:Gnat, when you get that set can you take a close look at this little sheet?[ Image ]Obviously it is a cut-out of the equipment list, perhaps from a photocopy, but it also looks like some writing was added to the bottom. I'd be interested in finding out what this says. Is it some form of player handout or improvised character sheet? Also if there is anything on the back or if there are any other sheets.
