Ah, well.

To reintroduce myself, then: I'm Ben, I've been here for a while, and I've met quite a few of the good folks here at Gen Con, particularly at the auction.  Hi again!

Welcome Back Ben!  

Hi, guys!

Just wanted to introduce myself; I've been collecting TSR merch for a couple years now and just today discovered this forum. Really excited to be a part of the community!

Welcome Songsayer!  You'll learn about stuff you didn't even know you wanted!  

You'll be cajoled into buying stuff you didn't even know you wanted!

btw, we've hit 101pgs! ... waiting till Foul re-threads this ...

Hello, everybody!  This seems to be where all the cool kids hang out.  Hopefully, you'll let me into the club!

Age:  45 (46 in January!)
Location:  Northeast Ohio (now), Chicago, Illinois (born and raised)

Collection Focus:  Although I've DMed and Played the game since 1978, I've only been seriously collecting for about a decade now.  My collection is entirely focused on my beloved World of Greyhawk, in which I spent so much of my youth.  I have everything that you'd consider "standard fare"; now I'm hunting for bigger and rarer game.  Istus preserve me.

Coolest item:  After reading all of your profiles and seeing all the "B3 Orange Copy" and "ST1 Up the Garden Path" owners here, I'm a lot more self-conscious about my humble collection than I was before today.  I'd say mine is...a mint, uncolored AD&D Coloring Album.  Either that or my mint 1st Edition World of Greyhawk Folio with maps signed by Darlene.

Hunting for:  Outdoor Geomorphs (Walled City), World of Greyhawk Miniatures (in blisters), and a World of Greyhawk shirt I once saw sold from Kim Mohan's personal collection (total pipe dream, I know, but hey...we all love flights of fancy here, no?).

(Shirt shown here, if anyone's actually curious:  Tome of Treasures - AD&D Greyhawk)

Welcome Carlos!

Hi Carlos---

The best GH collector guide I'm aware of is EchoHawk's, over on ENWorld at Greyhawk Collector's Guide and General D&D Topics* Greyhawk Collector's Guide - Page 11

Hi, all.

My name's Brian and I've been playing D&D since about 1982. Started with 1e, and am currently running 5e games. I've been collecting for a couple years and I tend to focus on original art (both old and new), pre-production material, dice and related items, some miniatures, and books. Of course, I like pretty much everything, but space and funds force me to limit the scope of my collecting. (*sigh*)

My collection isn't huge right now, but I've got some pieces I'm particularly proud of, including original Roslof art from the Treasure Trove auctions (Kullervo from Deities & Demigods; the Dragon Dice preliminary art + proof card; the keyline art for the Neo-Otyugh and Hill Giant monster cards; Roslof's character sheet); two unproduced miniatures sculpted by Dave Sutherland; a first printing of Deities & Demigods; some original Liz Danforth Tunnels & Trolls art; various original art from 5e.

When I'm not collecting or gaming, I make geek-friendly documentaries about the stuff I love (my first is called Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys; I'm currently in production on Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons & Dragons). I also collect vintage space toys from the Thirties through the Sixties, pulp and paperback art, and other odds and ends.

I'm really looking forward to learning more about the collecting side of the hobby. I've already picked up a lot of info as a lurker, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the discussion. (I'll try not to pipe up unless I know what I'm talking about!)

welcome to the forum Brian, you picked up some nice items there.

Thanks! I definitely got lucky. I've learned the value of patience, and I try not to spend any money until something really special comes along. I was also able to sell a few things out of my other collections to raise a "war chest." Not sure how often I'll be able to do that... And now that I'm working on another film, a lot of my disposable income is all tied up. So it goes.  

Don't worry about that..it's a learning process for a lot of us

Yeah, that's part and parcel of being a collector. There's always something new to learn. Keeps it fun!
