This might be worth $24 if it had the miniatures attached. But $24 for a backing card? And if that wasn't bad enough, how about tacking on $6 for shipping? Sheesh, why not throw in a case of lead poisoning while we're at it.

Hm. New laminated. Interesting concept.

Am I getting this wrong. If it's laminated, how does one read it?
Just want to be sure there isn't some usage of "laminate" by collectors I didn't know.
Be well,

Laminate is just a transparent plastic covering, almost like melting the bags you use to protect modules onto the module itself. It's a permanent book condom.

From this point on, I'm going to ask, "Do you know where this book has been?" before I touch another laminated book
;-)

. Thanks for that :-)

If you recall how excited we got as teens over stuff like the Player's Handbook (no pun intended), it might actually make sense to ask. Most other teens had issues of Playboy hidden away; we had D1-2-3, B1, X1.................

I paid a bit more for my copy. But way south of the $850-$1,000 price tag. I originally bought two at the Gen Con they premiered at. Ended up selling both and never thought I'd find a replacement.

I can't post a link here, because it wont show, but Coug had 2 of these listed for $18,000.00 each.

No, I'm not kidding either.

The only reason anyone would possibly disbelieve you is because you didn't say $20,000 even. One has to wonder what goes through what passes for a mind when he comes up with prices like that.

Not sure if this should be in the Silliest thread or not really. More of a thought exercise.

Even if it is a very rare item, would you pay this much for a mini that shows obvious signs of lead rot?
