Grodog, is this new information for your tournament page? I see you have some Gen Con South listings but not this one.

I can't make out the author's name on Witchstone. Can some with Polyhedron 21 look it up?

I'll look it up and add it when I update the site next, sometime after I return from CA this week. Thanks for the heads-up, zhowar!

Concerning the Dark Tower:

I have made a bit of a fool of myself on this one and it should not reflect on the others helping out on Shane's Judges Guild sub-web.

As we don't get as many visitors down in the Judges Guild forum, let me drum up some support here:

I never realised what an immense job it is to build these sites and work out the valuations. Shane (Plaag) has done an amazing job creating the sub-web. Currently there are a number of us trawling meticulously through all the sales of JG products we can find on the web. These are all going into the database to give the current valuations. I think for many products, no one really knew what they were worth before, but this is giving the first indication of the true market value. Obviously, there are a few products that could be considered 'well-known rares', especially by some of the veteran collectors. So please, everyone, check in from time to time and give suggestions. As Shane has mentioned, it will take a while for the values to even out. In these early months, one particularly low or high price can bias the initial results.

I believe this whole exercise is bringing more attention to Judges Guild as a collectible and will probably help to increase the value of JG products as a collectible over time. I also firmly believe the sub-webs strengthen the position of The Acaeum as the preeminent RPG collecting site on the web! :cheers:

I would suggest polling members to ask what their valuations are.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

B2 7th printing with cardboard header:

Opening price seems a bit high...but I dont have any idea what these have normally gone for in the past.

War Of Wizards (3rd print?)

Seller states it is missing the dice though.

I have a 1980 basic [blue book] D&D box with chits. Looks like this one, but not folded, the text is is all on one side, & there is no mailaway offer. However despite now being the same size as the OD&D version in the auction picture, it looks like maybe something was scissored off by the former owner. The back of the box illustrates two blocks of chits, not just one, so perhaps the mailaway offer was on another folded half. I'd like to hear more from anyone who knows about the chits. My OCE, bought new, had none.

I had never seen (or heard) of an OCE with chits before this one showed up....

I'm sure it's just a folded over sheet from a Basic Set that someone put in the box.

This lot is interesting:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Interesting that the seller has snuck in some silver anniversary edition with original ones to complete the set.

Don't the SA editions usually go for MORE than the 1970s originals? Plus by adding in S2-WPM, it only draws attention to the fact that this is an almost but not quite complete set of monochrome modules. It still needs S1 & T1.

What's with all the three hole punching?? The modules didn't come that way....did they? I didn't think the mono ones did. If they didn't, at least for me, that makes those modules just about worthless.

was much less but becoming slightly more valuable as broken set contents circulate without reference to box

Heh, that belongs in the overly priced silliest auction thread. $200 for an OCE... my left kidney!

A couple years ago, I got two of them for $12 and $15 each with combined shipping from a single seller.

I placed a bid on that one too, but I was swiftly outbid. Im out of it now.... Too much ($32 as of my last look) and I already have two of them.
