That's the first time I've seen one.
I've heard it said that it's pretty dire, but I'd probably have paid that for it on the strength of the photos and my perception of its rarity.
Someone got lucky there I think.

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

I've never heard of that one before. From the third photo, it doesn't look half-bad. The maps are interesting looking; having the room names typed right on the map is a nice touch.

Agree, really interesting looking on the third pic. The cover isn't a fine art but I really like what the artist did with it in regards to Point of View.

I'd assume this is impossible to find in pdf also?

Congratuations - those are vanishingly rare. The plastic strip sometimes comes in black - but I have only seen three or four. I sold mine a few years ago, I know Paul (of Y-s.com) sold his.

I totally forgot about that! ... What, something like six or seven years ago? I don't live in London Bridge anymore (sigh), moved out of the centre and sold half my collection. From Bertie Wooster to Lester Burnham :lol:

Well, someone jumped on this:

I hate to tell the seller, but they probably left money on the table by doing a BIN. With the current market, and the rarity of this item, it probably would have sold for more than the BIN, but they will never know.

Congrats to the buyer. Hopefully someone from the Acaeum managed to snag it.

Well, have a look at the sold items of this seller! One or more buyers had good deals over there!!!

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Did I miss out here? I can't shake the feeling that this item, which I really didn't know too much about, might have been ... significant? interesting? I don't know

** expired/removed eBay auction **

scale of 1 - 10, what did I miss out on?

I picked up one in shrink about five years ago and paid about the same price as this one. They can go for more, but not all of the time.

A far as collector value goes, for as much as I've read people liking it when it came out, it seems to get missed a lot today when one appears. I've never seen one go very high if that's your main concern.
