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?

They originally(and only) came within the Silver Anniversary Box Set. These would be the result of a broken up set which of also course means that there might be an L3 out there waiting to be found. :wink:

Someday, I'll remember to think BEFORE I leap . . . . . :oops:

"Insert own punch line[s] here"

I've got a Silver Anniversary box next to me on my desk :oops:

and it does have the separate G1, G2, and G3 in it.
