Would have responded to this sooner, but have been out of town for the long holiday weekend.  "Rescue Me" returns to the air on June 13th on FX.  Anybody besides me love that show?

I would say that he is serious after looking at the closings on the most recent Collectors Trove auctions for the Eric N. Shook collection.

The above forum member degassy31 won every single item that was listed in the Shook auction for a total of $2826.52.  

Six of the twenty-two wins were bids of $51.00 (27% of the items)

(yes, I know I have too much time on my hands)     

Well apparently price is no object and the condition of the item isn't much of a concern either.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




If I were to pay over $100 plus $20 shipping from Australia for an Immortals Rules box set....by God it better be in mint condition with some freebies thrown in.

Ooo, FRESH MEAT!!!     Everybody get the N00b!!!

Welcome aboard Serleran, I am actually surprised you already didn't have a ID here yet.  It's good to have you around.

Howdy All,

I have to say that I was pretty stunned at the outcome of the auction. I am now wondering if bidders just plain gave up and didn't bother to post a bid - especially for the Starstrands manuscript. There was virtually zero activity in the last few seconds and no snipes that I could see. It certainly was a weird dynamic.

Degassy31 is definitely a collector to contend with and is a genuine gamer with a real love for D&D and AD&D items.

If anything, it sure will make shipping and packing easy!

 I hope for your sake(and everyone else's for that matter), that Starstrand's doesn't end up being a "published" module if ypou know what I mean with the guy being from Hong Kong and all.

My thoughts too Brain...I was really suspect of someone from  one of the piracy capitals of the world that was looking for "rare" items.

He's probably just a normal collector I suppose but it was my first thought...  

WizKids sues Wizards ... (hmmm: suddenly, I have to take a whizz).

And, unlike our favorite stalker DAYECONâ„¢, the suit actually exists in real time and space.

No I don't think this one will see publication. This guy is a hoarder (I mean that in a nice - just like me kind of way ). He mentioned multiple copies of rares and an extensive complete shrinkwrap of standards.

Anyhow, I think Degassy31 is one of us but just now having the time and means to enter public collecting. He certainly has enthusiasm.

Heck, when the Burntwire bros started buying I thought I'd never win another auction again, then there was Improvstone, Invincible Overlord, The Fantasy Museum, etc.

Just found out I can't reply to posts in Classifieds. Ack! Can't PM by clicking on usernames, either. Double ACK! Oh well, I'll get the hang of this monkey business.

Heh, Duh. I'm brilliant. Thanks. I see it now.

Oh, does this forum support looking for OoP CCGs? There's one I just cannot locate, at all. It just up and vanished from existence. A sort of dual CCG/RPG, really. If not, no biggie. I'll keep looking.
