There's a Witchfire hardback?

Yes, updated for 3.5 and one of the best adventures EVER

Dang.  I keep passing on these at Half Price Books!

City State of the 'Invincible' Overlord.
I would suggest you place and asterisk beside both CSIO and Wilderlands.
You can delete the line 'Necromancer d20 Judges Guild Materials, as you've already litsed them by name.
I would add to that list, Rappan Athuk #3 which will do well on account of RAR being so rare, and Tomb of Abysthor for definate. But in general, anything by Necromancer is going to retain it's cover price because Necromancer put out very good quality product, whereas a lot of the TLG stuff is likely to depreciate in the forseeable future. DCC#51 Castle Whiterock is likely to be worth getting and holding if you can keep it in mint condition (sealed), but the world is gonna be full of opened used boxed sets. City of Brass is a possibility, as are many of the Castle Zagyg supplement. You may find the first printing of CZ Dark Chateau does particularilty well in the coming years.
Also, for the DCC collectors, the early GenCon Specials are still phenomenally valuable. DCC#3.5, 17.5 and 20.5 are surefire winners if you can pick copes up. DCC#12.5 1E Gondenrod and the GenCon (non-NKG) Rat King are sure to do well also.
And don't forget the stuff from Pied Piper Publishing.
But, head and shoulders above the rest sits CZ:UW. The rarest and most valuable of the products to be published since Dave Arneson wrote The Haunted Lighthouse. Strange to think that CZ:UW is astronomically better than DCC#3.5 by any measure you care to put to it, and yet these two may continue to rise in value steadily within maybe 15% of eachother.

thanks for the info. in this thread, since my collection is mainly TSR products, its great to know what other products are out there to read and collect...much appreciated.

I've read through the adventures - very cool stuff, and the hardbacks are beautiful.

I was debating between this thread and Fun Finds, because I had such a blast picking these up... all are off-the-shelf from around Ontario and Halifax and mostly from the $5 and $10 piles... total spent on the books was about $120 (but the ticket to Halifax was a fortune )

Cool and a great deal, especially compared to what they go for on Ebay.
The adventures were what got me hooked to the setting, course it was only them and the first 3.0 Monsternomicon when this happened. (actually I don't see that in the photo, you'll want to get it if you don't have it)  Art and writing I will say are top notch for RPGs of this time.
I'd say if you are able to acquire the Warmachine/Hordes books for cheap they have some good story elements for the setting.  And the No Quarter magazine has small snippets as well.
Enjoy your books.

Anyone want to take a stab at the current value of these?

Here are my wild guesses (because I don't track sales or use eBay as a model for value):

Wilderlands of High Fantasy boxed set -- $65 - 120
Player's Guide to Wilderlands -- $30 - 50
Caverns of Thracia -- $15 - 25 (assuming this is the d20 version)
City State of the Imperial Overlord -- $40 - 60
CZ: Yggsburgh -- $5 - 15
CZ: Upper Works -- $125 - 200
Tomb of Abyssthor (sp?) -- $10 - 25
DCC 35 -- $20 - 45
RAR -- $125 - 200
Ptolus -- $125 - 200 (assuming this is the complete version with all extras)
Iron Kingdoms books, incl. Witchfire Trilogy Hbk -- $50 - 100
Possibly The Drow War HBks, esp. book 1 -- $30 - 50
