Nice win! Yes even under normal circumstances 5:30 AM on Sunday morning is pretty safe from the likes of me, but taking into consideration the Friday night that I had that had led well into disatorous results later on Saturday morning(i.e. me reaquainting myself with my old friend Mr. Toliet Bowl :oops:

). I'd say that you were certainly safe from me this morning. :wink:

Funny guy. Wants 20 bucks for his Q1, but throws the Dark Tower and Tegel Manor in with some other stuff.

A great set to have in any regards Stephen!

Be a lot easier to pick up a 1st 3rd book if you wanted to complete it as a first then good trade on a 2nd print book.

Dammit, Brendon!
Only a collector would think to turn a genuine set into a chimaera in the wrong box!

Excellent purchase, Stephen. Leave it as it is, please, and go get a proper early 1st and the others to go with it.

I thought it was already a 'mix 'n' match' set,

Must have been my evil twin who made the comment, just to get a reaction :twisted:

Well, the M&M and M&T look like nice late 1st copies and it's not the first such set with a full-blown 2nd print U&WA rather than the variant 1st.
(Unless the seller says "yeah, I replaced the U&WA", I'll have to assume not).

Those were probably pretty much the first books to have been put into a vertical grain box, though, I'd've thought.

Nice to have you back David. :wink:

I received this one today. Imagine my surprise when I found that the cardboard counters were included, along with the original pair of ten siders and a crayon to color in the numbers. On top of that, the books are in great shape and the box is intact with only a few minor flaws.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

A tough way to get that Dragon mag, but I needed it.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Looks like you did OK on that one, clarkie.

I have never seen the Lost City module in person. Is it any good...the picture looks good.

$9 was not bad for an old Dragon.

I think its a good module.

If you want one, I can send you oen for say $3 plus the cost of Media Mail shipping. It wont be in great shape though.

As requested, here's the product list from my recently-acquired 1st print Men & Magic. Quality is low, but I"ll try to get another shot in daylight if anyone wants a better pic.

I suppose it's a fair price.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Were those G1-G2-G3 silver anniversary modules part of the Silver Anniversary box or were they originally sold separately?
