According to the auction description, those books are from the collection of the late Forrest J. Ackerman.

If there is one thing I have learned from Pawn Stars... ask for provenance.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Someone was selling Forrest J. Ackerman items and claimed to be the official agent/seller for his estate. I don't know if this is the same guy or not.

That's a rediculously cheap Brotherhood of the Bolt. There's a 100% profit in that one.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Hi,

bought a BotB off Ebay for $30 a coupla weeks ago.

Possibly what the price is based on.

Cheers,
Malc

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Not anymore (otherwise I would have snagged it). Prices seem to be in the $30-60 range lately. Only Gems For Death seems to still have really strong value - maybe that's the hardest one to find?

I've thought that for years and BotB the 2nd hardest to find.

I have doubles of the first 3 modules that I could sell but haven't been keeping track if they are still worth selling now or if the value has gone down.

I was thinking they were still hard to come by, but I haven't been actively pursuing them.

The compilation book is still quite collectible but the price on the individual books has gone down. I have an extra set and some extras of a couple of the books too.

The first two of the trilogy have NEVER gone for much as they are as common as dirt.

The third booklet is the one that is less common and normally sells for more than the first two combined.

I have seen the first two booklets sell for less than $2 each (USD) and for as much as $10 each.

While I have seen the third booklet sell for over $30 (USD) and for as low as $5.
