All four sets of the Monster Cards, in very good condition.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5928655153
$9.99 opening bid ($24.99 BIN is probably not unreasonable, given the convenience).

Seller also has a number of JG items with decent BIN prices.

Already at $56; 4+ days to go...

(Hence sniping as an (alas, common-sense) strategy, <aneoth>).

Nice one, <invincibleoverlord>. Wouldn't have spotted that so soon
(and it's probably quite an easy name/title for people to miss on their searches).

I take it the price label residue "comes as standard" on these?

$7 starting bid with 5+ days to go.

n.b. I haven't asked for printing confirmation details, myself. (*points to the shipping destination addys & comments in the body text*).
Could just be that the whole cover is "shifted" upwards...

I've been burned before on this.  The listing states it's 240 pages, which would make me think it's 3rd or later.

From the item description:

'This copy of "Pharoah" was purchased in 1980 at a convention and stored in cello ever since.'

Now, obviously they mean cellophane, but did anyone else crack up laughing imagining someone rolling it up and stuffing it in a cello?  

Cover seems a bit pale on that Pharaoh.

The photo is so fuzzy, how can you tell the condition.....  ??

Goes without saying: ask for more higher-resolution photos and ask questions...
The price is already getting high, however.

At a glance, it's a much better copy than I have: no obvious damage to the front cover; bottom-right corner is square, top-right may have a bit of roll; /perhaps/ some spine rubbing top & bottom; doesn't say anything about name/writing inside (infer from "clean" at your peril); etc.
(But then, I think I paid ~$25 on eBay a few years ago).

I won this Players Handbook that by the photo has to be a 1st - 3rd, and said nothing of a stock photo..I recived a 7th, it did only cost me $12 bucks, but come on......     I tried to contact the seller....No reply of course.... Be careful.....

Erm, you got your feedback. Any reason you ain't given them a negative yet, if you're getting no response?
(Yes, relatively small amount to take a hit on, so difficult to say whether it's worth taking any further. Still a good idea to flag a warning...).

p.s. This is the same seller as had the 1st print "Boot Hill" and other mid-70s goodies some time back, so it's not a surprise they've got a 1st MM, too.

But do they usually go this high?  Very good condition I must admit.

Not much more than 10 mins left.

(yes it has). wait and see...

johnhuck wrote:Nice win. Did I miss something other than the condition?  I'm listing one tonight.  But it's much more beaten up.

thx. Yeah, the condition...

Certainly not "mint" overall, but the pictures provided were good enough to convince me that no-one was going to get "carried away" on their bidding thinking the condition /was/ mint (*points to The Acaeum realisations*).
Thumbs up on the contents, too: Minty UK B1, nice dice, etc.

Anyhow, I never bought that box; just picked up a blue book and B1 (both second hand a bit later, if I remember correctly) to go with my original woodgrain purchase...

(Am waiting to pounce your auctions, too, John... Especially if you list your "surplus" SRs )

OK, whoever buys this (and I bet it's someone here) needs to be publicly ridiculed.
