Howdy all, assuming that DCC rpg is as collectible as any other rpg, how would a collector deal with the several versions of the rulebook for instance?
Only today i found two completely new versions of it:


** expired/removed eBay auction **



** expired/removed eBay auction **


The number of versions/special edition would drive me crazy... Is there anyone who has a clear idea of how many core rulebooks have been issued (regardless the different print run of the base version!)?

You've linked DCC auction items, instead of Pathfinder.

There has been only one Pathfinder Core Rulebook (at least... 8 printings of it?), and a Staff Copy of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook (100 known copies).

For DCC, the rulebooks look great on the shelf but Goodman's given me cover fatigue... I given up collecting all of them  :?

When every cover is a special cover, then none of them really are.

I have 7.  I stopped buying them from GG after about the fourth because they're so heavy shipping is expensive.  The last copies came from local game store pick ups - so no cost to ship.  But still, not so special anymore, to me anyway.

The black & gold copy from 2012 came with a first print of DCC 66.5 Doom of Savage Kings, so that was an interesting purchase.

That is the specialest of special covers. Good for Motorhead-themed campaigns (supplemented with the Hawkwind recordings featuring Michael Moorcock, of course).

Those two are the newest. Released just yesterday I believe.

Here is a post from Goodman Games' blog on a guide to the other older core rules:
