MV1 is one of the modules that I do not have in shrink however I will not be spending anywhere near $63.00 to get it.

I am willing to bet that I can find one in shrink for less that $15.00. Besides give it some time, I will not be surprised to see that go over $100.00 looking at who is bidding on it. :roll:

And maybe he didn't want the OCE... :cry:

Strange question to ask out of the blue?

TSR edition; $15-20 usually. Sometimes a bit more.
They don't come up for sale all that often, but even with their illustrious authorial pedigree neither do they appear to command any particularly high collectable value (yet, anyhow).

Alright, Do I nominate myself here:

Being that I beat out 2 of the heaviest hitters on EBay in this auction, Do I belong here?

Maybe...

Will you be going in as heavy on the GW 1st print MM?

Could have sworn Burnie Bros had given up "collecting"! Or have I said that before? ^^

Nope, no 1st print GW MM for me.

I already have a softie MM in real nice condition and although that is a 3rd printing, that is enough for me.

At least for now.

Your guess is as good as mine.

You're kidding, surely?

The 3rd print is "almost common". The 1st print is rare... that one might even still have the spine attached(!).
And you already have shipping charges in place!

(Max bid is $28.18 *cough*)

Oh, you talked me into it. I tossed in a bid. I wonder what Paul's max was?

Good try, even if a little half-hearted

Was certainly worth a bid, IMHO: only the second copy I've seen on eBay with the spine still attached, if it is... And the one I picked up recently was "hidden" in a larger auction.

Would guess Paul was in at $50+, if he was bidding because he didn't actually have one.
