I can always pass the extra rulebooks onto friends for gaming purposes . I always wanted a copy of Star Probe and hope this is a good specimen. I will now have quite a few Basic Sets and will eventually sell one or two off... I ened up buying the Diamond Dice sets because I got the idea (here or at DF) to make up some old-school boxed sets for my players that will contain PC sheets, ref sheets maps dice, etc. These dice will be great for giveaways!Expert Boxed Set (seems to be an earlier printing)Total: $16.30 ** expired/removed eBay auction **Are these good prices? I'll let everybody know the condition and post pics when they arrive.

I have a completely squashed box top (no bottom) and a box that the center of the cover is broken/split through because the last seller shipped it only wrapped in kraft paper So I'm assuming anything is better than what I have.I bid on the second one as a backup.Hey did you mention the dice/crayon and original papers with the Basic set in the title?I guess times are tight right now...
