Deadlord suggested that it would be interesting to see who in this forum has certain rares. So here's your chance. Brag or boast...

I have a mono (convention prints) C2 and Lost Caverns. Both are registered here on Acaeum. After that, the fall off is pretty steep. I have pretty much every TSR produced module from 1979-1986 (+/-), and most are first printings. I was really active in gaming so I bought them immediately as they came out.

My major gaps are Orange B3 and Lost Shrine (convention print).

Tamoachan (soon)
3rd print woodie
Tsojconth
All of the Wee warriors stuff (including Dragonlord)
True 1st print Greyhawk supplement
Dragon #1-22
Dungeon #1-20
Rahasia
3 Chainmail 2nd prints

Too much more to list, I suppose that is the cream of the crop. Though Kalifax is one of my faves, never seen or heard of that one before.

Still kind of regret selling Fazzlewood. I'll pick up another someday. My Chainmail 1st went to aneoth, Character Archaic to grodog, 2nd print woodie went to richseye, who resold it, along with Tamoachan and DM's Inverness. I was, of course, told they would never be resold. Hehe.

I'm sure that's when you saw burnie had the Skeleton Warrior Halloween Costume (in box).  
The primary hole in my collection are the limiteds of Inverness, Tamoachan and Tsojcanth.  I've got most of the "standard" rare stuff that burnie has but they certainly have some near-unique items.  
I've got an ST1 on the way as I type, which will fill a major hole.  
And I've got a D&D beach blanket!  Woohoo!

Deadlord36 wrote:You snag Sot's ST1?

Yep!  Along with the Dungeon Hobby Shop catalog/package.  
Needless to say, I've been eagerly awaiting Mr. Mailman the past few days...

Character Archaic wasn't me Frank, must have been someone else

Now Paul has a massive collection, I'm sure.  I don't think he's missing much, which probably explains his "swords bright" optimism!
