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

I have to say I'd really like one of these. Was the setting for one of my most memorable gaming experiences back in the day. (But I digress)

(so we were in the chemistry lab one Wednesday after school and som of the older boys btought in some Traveller 15mm minis and.......................... ah happy days :lol:

Arduin #1 (2nd print I think). Ending soon.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Having some Arduin is of course what separates the "truly great" rpg collections from the "merely humdrum" :wink:

Yes, $150 cheap for shrink 1st print. I would not buy any Chaosium shrink as in the past they have always had rusty staples inside. Obviously others may have had different experiences, but I opened went through five Chaosium box sets, all from from shrink before giving up.

Of course if I had not opened any then I would be none the wiser

My best 1st print (NM quality, open auction, loads of bidders) was approx $80 about a year ago. Would expect similar or maybe slightly better if pimped here and at Y-S.com

I hope that I have just been unlucky - no reason why if kept well should not be fine.

To that end, I think that a country with a climate that is subject to minimal temperature extremes would be better for storing all old sealed roleplaying game boxes. Like, well, the UK. So, my address for sending all your games for safekeeping is... :wink:

As long as the humidity isn't too bad such as rain every other day or something crazy like that

In that case, you may think about storing your rares in Canada.
