And yeah, I think theyll be in the fine-very fine ballpark (really nice for things so old).I think what partly depresses their value (to me, at least) is that there's nothing different than the other versions available more cheaply (okay, yeah, aside from the cool covers). It seems only the major collector types -- that is, those who own almost everything and want to fill a hole in a very massive collection -- would really want them. As such, the market is fairly narrow.. and may be getting smaller [imagine the demand for a very limited print run of gold plated B2s.. same sort of thing]. For me, unless I'm speculating on future demand, I'd prefer to own the RPGA modules (items of comparable value) because they offer something tangible that really isn't available anywhere else (for me, artwork, story, and even the adventure).. and, as a byproduct, open themselves up to a broader market in the long-term.

And what should I find but the aussie monos!Still have my Tsojconth as well - nice to see that increase in value over the last few years
