My copy of DCC 30 is NOT the tournament Box Set.
My copy of DCC 30 is a module. Thick, but still just the module.
No minis, no box, no handouts.
So, not so illusive then.

Sorry.

BTW: Has anyone noticed that one of the DCC number indicators is incorrect on DCC 20?

The front cover shows DCC 20, but the spine lists DCC #19.

If this has been discussed here already, please forgive me.

Yeah...they have had a few misprints here and there.  Another one that is messed up is #52.  The cover shows the correct title which is Chronicle of the Fiend, but the spine shows the title as Palace In The Wastes which is the title for DCC #49.  Oops.

Hell yes.  When the new copies are gone...in a very short time...the entire Dungeon Crawl Classic line will begin to grow in value.  No question.

Hard to find Must-haves:
3.5
20.5
17.5
#0 (convention edition)
12.5 (either 1st or 2nd printing, so far there doesn't seem to be any difference in what they are worth online, because people either don't understand or don't care about the subtle difference)

Look out for:
#30 Tournament Edition---just sold out, was a little pricey
The Heroes Arise---I suspect this was short printed; also, it contains 5 DCC modules but there is nothing to distinguish these from the regular modules, and the box set comes with no extra booklet like Saga of the Dragon Cult....so unless it's in the original SW, I don't even think this one should be considered collectible!
1st print/original cover/3E editions of  #1, #2, #5---other early modules were also available in 3E and 3.5, but I suspect the three I mentioned will be more sought after due to the different cover and/or different material
#35 Gazetteer box---this sure sold out fast.....!
EnWorld Journal module "My Friend the Formorian" (Can't remember which issue offhand)
#34 Cage of Delirium: Since it came with a CD, I suspect there will be less of these in "Mint/Near Mint" shape than others, I suspect a few people played the CD or actually lost/scratched it.
#39 Castle Churro/DM Screen: Ditto for this one, some might have bought it to use the screen, so probably less in NM/Mint shape than other modules in the series.

Just my guessing here....anyone have anything else?

Has there ever been a 12.5 1st print on Ebay?  There have been lots of the 2nd print sold, I do not recall the 1st ever been even offered for sale

Let's hope Goodman has learned his lesson from the "60 copy print run" fiasco from 12.5.

Hahahah - yeah, you'll have to watch that budget a little closer this year, goatboy.  
Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as I would like buy several copies for my kids, gaming friends, etc.  

And yeah, I think Goodman Games will be packing more than 60 copies of each of these AD&D releases.  They'll still be in limited quantities, but I think GG will have that base covered pretty well.

Any way you can let it leak just how limited they will be?

I can almost see it now.

Don't forget the ketchup!

I'm sure Al would have a snarky comment about the thought of me "running" anywhere....
