Yeah. I meant DCC#51.  
The DCC C9 with the EO cover is worth it for the cover alone. It will stand up to the test of time and already sells for more than cover price. IMO, a copy with only the GG logo will be worth more, but for collectors, this is a good solid investment. Not likely to depreciate, but likely to hit a plateau at around $50 long term I think.

Thanks Joesph!

I'm listening right now... I kinda wish it was just an Erol interview...

I'm also noticing right away there are some factual errors. (1972?, "steve" sutherland?)

The interviewer and Otus  both hit the nail on the head... the first wave of artists were embroiled in the game and fans of the company or had been part of it's early development.

I think I may have asked this before, but I can't find the thread answer if I did...  

I've just received a DCC Saga boxset and have just started to have a read through, albeit very briefly.

I wondered, is it easy/reasonable to convert the player and monster stats back to 1st ed? I have no other d20 items, so have no point of reference with regards what any player stats may mean.

thanks in advance for re-answering this, if I've asked before...

** expired/removed eBay auction **

When Goodman had it's 1/2 price sale it was $49.99 or something like that, and if you included that along with $50.01 of other merchandise, the shipping was free (which is exactly what I did).  It really helped finish out my collection.  I am SO glad I hopped on that.

yeah, I did as well, it was such a great buy, what I meant was after that, the gazetteer became hard to come by, and was selling in the 100+ range for a while on ebay, or at least thats what I remembered.

I believe the Gazetteer was originally $69, maybe it was $35 during the half price sale. It sold out quick enough.

The last one I had up for sale a few months ago went almost instantly at $100

These will probably continue to go for $100+ but bargains do crop up. That being said it is a setting with only two adventures included rather than a massive boxed adventure. The DCC setting seems relatively unimportant when using the DCC line of adventures and I haven't gone through it yet so I can't be a judge on the quality.

I just see this set more as a collectable rather than an end use kind of item and that may limit its value down the road.

If I recall, some lady sold a lot of them back to back to back to back etc.  I mean like a dozen or even more over several months (maybe a year ago?).  During that time, the eBay market price dropped from over $100 down to around $40 or $50.

She had about 12 and some were opened and damaged, and perhaps the last one was incomplete (I seem to remember). I think the first 8 went for over $100. I believe they were shrinkwrapped copies/

Yeah, I got mixed up with Castle Whiterock.  I just know I mostly paid half price or better on my DCC collection.
