That's probably my favourite catalog. Lots of colour pictures and lots of good items by Dimension Six, Fantasy Art Enterprises, Judges Guild etc.

That does look like a cool catalog. Neat seeing things like Balboa stuff, Booty & the Beasts and The Necronomicon advertised in there.

I wonder how much this seller's reserve price is. His statements:

These are practically unattainable,
Amazon claims to have 3 used from 148$ or so, but when pursued--the item is listed as unavailable.
Amazon Canada has one for about C$500 or C$600.

seem to suggest he wants a ton for it. I picked up my copy from Greg Stafford's auctions for about $10.

Heh, I did see the reserve on there which made me leary, particularly with the already highish $10 opening bid, but if its anymore than $15 I think I'll pass. :wink:

I did however pick MegaMan 6 from him:

... and it's from an IStoleIt franchise, meaning they won't budge on their shipping policies. Any interested international folks are going to have to use the time-tested "mate in the states" method if they want those items.

So it looks like Greg won it. Which is cool with me, but I can't help but wonder ... why? Rebuilding his personal collection is the only thing that comes to mind.

Anyway, no big deal. I'm mostly just curious.

Oh no I can almost guarantee, he's going to resell them...signed. :roll:

He's been doing it for awhile now.

Man, that makes losing it to him suck even more than it did when I thought he just wanted it.

Let mirth prevail!

Agreed, and he'll get a premium for the item for who he is as well...

But ... really?

Is he having any success with this plan? And since when did a signature from a gaming figure mean anything (in a financial sense) to anyone? I mean, unless it happens to be your all-time favorite designer or your all-time favorite product or something. I guess. Maybe.

Seriously, I thought it was sort of an industry joke that game designers' signatures meant less than nothing. And I sort of liked it that way. Our little niche does not need to begin resembling baseball-card or comic-book collecting.

In a slightly different field, Terry Pratchett has been quoted as saying there are more of his books signed than unsigned!

While patently untrue he does sign a shed load of books, something that he considers 'after sales service', so a TP sig is worthless, particularly as he personalises many.

(what a nice guy - My signed Mort 1st print is one of my prized possessions but is, for all intents and purposes, worthless to anyone but me)

(And if you're looking for the value of a sig in modern writing do a search fro 'Children of Hurin' recently sold on ebay - these have been going for a little over the cover price!

(as an example but look at some of the others)

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