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.
throwi wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:Okay, this may be a bit premature, but I figured I'd post it...My sister and her husband clear out old estates for a living (reselling items in antique stores and thrift shops - they used to be an eBay Powerseller but after issues, they stopped using them - but that's a different story and I digress). Anyway, she called me and said that they pulled a "four foot stack of D&D books and boxes" from an estate today and wanted me to look at it to see if there was anything valuable in it. After telling her to make sure no boxes were getting crushed , I told her I would stop over tomorrow morning to look at it.I wonder what I'm going to find in the morning? :-)Pictures and details to follow...~throwi
