It's either a cut-out of someone's else rulebook or a photocopy. I could see giving it to the players for reference, but the "Armor Class ___" makes me wonder if it was intended to be a primitive character sheet. You could just mark/circle the items your character bought.Page 7 of the Holmes rulebook. One would hope it's a copy...

However it's not like they're all 1st print books (I can't tell/see if The Hobbit is a 1st print [That would have some value in itself...])...

Seems to include rulebooks for these.Check to see if those extra counters are for WBRM; if so, flip (parts) for profit.
tool wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:There was definitely a WBRM counter sheet in there. It's either 2nd or 3rd edition WBRM, I can't tell from that picture (2nd had matte counters, 3rd had glossy, otherwise they're extremely similar).

tool wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:So I have to assume the auctioned rulebook is 2nd edition.
sauromatian wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:tool wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:So I have to assume the auctioned rulebook is 2nd edition.So then the edition order would be (?):1st: original cover with no bar at bottom; runic counters.2nd: original cover with bar at bottom; figures on matte counters3rd: new cover on digest-sized booklet; figures on glossy counters.I wasn't aware that the map changed. My set has a map c. 1975, figures on counters with a textured surface but not especially glossy-looking (to me at least), & a digest booklet with the newer cover.
