Mars wrote:Just to clarify, are the fold out maps the only thing missing?  At a quick glance the only ones that came with fold out maps are the two DL modules - the rest did not.  I would definitely be more concerned about the condition issues though.

Well, there is a host of problems with the modules. Some didn't have the interior or exterior maps. Two or three were missing the removable reference pages. One of the maps was actually burned (but included?). Heavy rusting throughout all modules and an odor of mold. Heavy use and wear etc etc. They obviously weren't handled or stored well.

Here's what I found after a quick read through:
X1 was missing the hex sheets from the back pages of the module.
X2 had burnt map pages.
I1 is missing the map booklet.
MV1 doesn't have the viewer.
TI does not have the maps.

Let me know if I'm missing something. I just felt that the entire lot was not represented accurately.

The seller did respond and I'm waiting to receive his comments and/or a partial refund. So at least he is trying.

Congrats to epershall on the Tamo!  Looks like a nice one, and the price was very reasonable, in my opinion.

As a nice bonus, this copy is from Milwaukee.

The conan book looked interesting...



Brette:)

Isn't that the book from the Conan box set (or, was that your point)?

no the book itself.. you know you're prob right about it being from the boxed set, its been ages since I looked at it, i couldn't decided what to make of it actually so I had it on the watch list;) looks like some other didn't know either...

Well, I received this morning some books I bought IN 2006    at a very low price and I was pleasantly surprised to find a new copy of Fiend Folio and a new copy of DragonLance Adventures. Well, I suppose they would be rated as NM by the more rigorous members of our little community, but I can content myself with that. With that, the collecting bug bite me again and I started setting aside one copy of each original AD&D book again (the original thirteen ones of course   ), assumed they are at least in beautiful conditions. I suppose you can't stop

It's not in bad shape, either.  I already had one, but it never hurts to have another.

You should sell it, noone needs more than 2 or 3 copies of Deities and Demigods w/ Cthulhu.  

Mars wrote:Yes, that's the book from the boxed set.  I almost fell into the same trap last year.  Someone was selling just the book of research note ...

My last minute bid on the poster didn't even register.  Nice pickup on that.  Although I wonder if the seller has any more of them.  They sold off 3 copies of the 1983 catalog last year.

Last week I won an auction from him for a poster advertising the Wilderness Survival Guide.  Same artwork as on the book cover, but the extends a bit farther than the book.

I'm a bit disappointed that the book is from the Conan boxed set.  That's one item I've not been able to track down yet (I deliberated too long about buying the copy BadMike put up last fall).    Oh well, you win some and lose some.

Nice price, Brute, and a great-looking copy!
