Yep, thought the same thing.
Course if someone just wants a reading copy then maybe alright to get. Hole punching though can be hit and miss with regard to what image or text it may ruin if at all.

yeah that was my next thought - great playable copy still at that price - really at that price you cant go wrong, providing it doesnt cut something important that you need.

'bout right, I'd say. Lance was like Gene Wilder as the Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles on that one. "Oh deary dear!"

Nice win.

1st printing, appears to be in decent shape, although no ref sheets.

The seller says both he and his brother bought copies of which they are still the original owners of and neither have Ref sheets and are both good about keeping things "in the box".

Which makes one wonder if any of the 1st prints maybe didn't have Ref sheets since 2 people claim they don't have them and are the original owners ???

Can EGG shed any light on this possibility ?

I agree. Although they have been a little lower more recently. The two best two recent (i.e. full auction, non-BIN) guides would probably be; (i) the VF/NM set won by a2jeff in March 07 ($1,725 came with 4 supplements, but did not accept paypal), or further back, (ii) that lovely looking set with (unfortunately) a great big label with a picture of a tree stuck on the back - won by southwicksw in April 06 for $1,915. He then immediately tried to re-sell it for $500 more to no avail.

There have been a few G/VG and partial/incomplete sets recently in the $550-900 range. So, x2 price for complete plus great condition probably seems OK.

$10 BIN on J. Eric Holmes' Fantasy 1981 RPG book.

Stated "Very Good", but no picture and it's ex-library (with plastic jacket).

Sorry no link (I don't keep 'em). I do keep records for a lot of rares, but only on a spreadsheet. The 2nd print woodgrain (recent low price) I am referring to is>>>

May 12, 2007
seller: a2jeff
buyer: wms58
price: 560.00
condition: F/G (pencil marks, some pen, stains, pages loose, all box corners split. However set is complete).

(apologies to the seller or buyer if my grading harsh or inaccurate, it is mainly for my own use/records)

In contrast, chromaticknight won a set with no ref sheets (but 5 supplements), for $933.32 on Nov. 23 2006. This set was (a) complete and (b) looked to be in much better condition.

Hard to say on prices - more of an art than a science
