Do you know what the business card in the photo is from? If not, let us know when it arrives.

Kamelion wrote: ** expired/removed eBay auction **Well, this arrived in the mail this morning All components are in beautiful condition and the Greyhawk supplement that was included is a 9th printing and is as near to mint as you can get. Very happy. The sellers (Wallflower Productions, who sell on Ebay as cdrewcweb) provided excellent communication, accurate descriptions and pictures and really great packaging. I'd recommend them very highly.The dice appear to be two separate sets (both with an old-style d20 that's numbered 1-10 twice). I think that one is a little more recent than the other as one of the d4s has the flattened points that you didn't see until later. The other d4 has points sharp enough to take someone's eye out with, lol. And one set has a two pipped d6s, while the other is a regular numbered one.The business card that's shown in the picture isn't from Wallflower Productions (theirs was included, but not shown). Instead, it appears to be from the shop where the set was originall bought - a place called Brookhurst Hobbies on Brookhurst Way in Garden Grove CA. It's really cute ("Imported Model Products From Around The World"). The box even had Brookhurst Hobbies' $5.00 price sticker in it (long since become non-adhesive). Talk about complete, heh heh.I also grabbed one of those 32 page AD&D 2nd Edition Preview booklets for 99p yesterday (although not the one that LittlePrincessCouglander is selling, lol). A novelty purchase, really. I'm enjoying reading through it and seeing all the thinly-veiled swipes at Gygax-era AD&D1e. The phrase "Where is the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game headed in the future?" gave me quite a chuckle. Ah, the benefit of hindsight...
