Achizar wrote:As the current owner of the set, I'm biased, it's true, but I could easily talk myself into thinking toward (if not upward of) $200 based on Acaeum's listed values. :oops: for the seller indeed

I'd initally though the red on the front of the box was a bit pale, but then changed my mind as it was difficult to tell for sure given the dirt... The "Dungeons & Dragons" title should also be very clear/unsmudged if it was an earlier copy (current understanding from a limited number of 4th print sets).No-one else has confirmed another copy with an apparently "earlier" box that is also missing the sticker. (Might actually be as rare as the "4th-" claimed to be).

They look great on the shelf (yes, just the one), especially to someone who hasn't seen a first edition Monster Manual in the flesh for nearly twenty years.They'll keep me happy, for now.

Not quite in the same league as the auction Harami posted last week (300 Dragons for $300) but a good price nonetheless. I held off posting as a fun find until they arrived, as the description of the mags condition was somewhat vague - but I was happy when they turned up. All in one piece, staples still good, no hole punches, no tears or creases, just some wear on the spines, and wear & scuffing to a few covers.Best part of the deal was the shipping - not often you find a decent lot out here in Australia. The seller was only 100 miles or so from me, so shipping was a very cheap $5.RegardsMike
