I'm considering selling most of my collection in anticipation of a move, and was curious about the approximate value of the following rarer pieces:

Original, sealed, green-cover copy of the 140 card Dungeon Tac Cards set. Has the #2 written on the plastic. You may have seen a  picture of this on Afterglow's non-TSR D&D page...the picture is actually of my set. I sent him the picture back about 4 years ago.

Original version of City State of the Invincible Overlord, with all the seperate books, sheets, and big maps, in excellent condition.

Original version of Tegel Manor (small orange book with maps).

The First Fantasy Campaign, first printing, in excellent condition.

Judges Shield, in fair condition.

The Dark Tower, in excellent condition.


Thanks.

First printing.

Is the booklet brown with a picture of a city?

Sounds like you've got a first edition of City State, and Tegel Manor. Do you have any of the Wilderlands series? Magic Realms?

I'd be willing to go to $100 on a 1st edition City State if the condition warranted it, maybe $80 on Tegel Manor, $20 or so for the Judges Shield.

I don't know how much a set of Tac Cards is worth. An opened set in excelent condition recently sold on eBay for about $50.

Why not print a list of what you have?

There have been 2 first CSIO on eBay in the past three months.

The first was a UK seller, and sold for £63. It was in practically mint condition and complete. I missed that one by a few pounds, but I got a 1st edition Tegel Manor (NM) and 1st edition My First Fantasy Campaign (EX-) from the same seller. No link I'm affraid as the buyer never left feedback on the sellers account.

The second went for $80.

With a truely butchered 1E Tegel Manor going for $40.

Yes, my CSIO is complete, I'd say in NM condition, in the (original?) plastic bag.

That is the picture of my set of cards that you posted. The "#2" is written on the unopened plastic bag, not on the card itself.

Has anyone physically established whether the yellow or the green set came first? I always thought the green set was earlier, since the face card states it as being 140 cards, but their later catalogs claiming the Tac Cards as a 135 card set. I'll check the address listed in the CSIO supplement to be sure.


The only other rarer JG items I have are two sets of early Ready Ref Sheets, in NM condition. I believe I have a copy of Installment T/Frontier Forts of Kelnore that's still in the envelope, but I'll have to check to be sure when I get home.

CSIO from that recent seller was £62 (£63 would have won it) :

(included the "I" and "J" booklets which a previous seller had sold individually; Mike <invincible> would know:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5923621242 ;
although the brown "guide book" and maps from that sale went "cheaper"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5923621261
Total for "guide book", I + J from that sale being $78 )

The Tegel mentioned above was £31:

Recent seller also had a few early journals ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5933053124 ) and such like.

I thought all those recent prices were on the "high side" (by 25% or so), to be honest. Was right at my max for the CSIO and only bid that much because I totally fluffed the previous sale...
The first four journals (NM; 1976/77), for example, were a couple of bucks each (!) from the earlier seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5929602599
and the First Fantasy Campaign (NM) was $22 :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5923621272

For ref., Wilderlands of High Fantasy (NM) was $21 :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5923621283
Best, IMHO, (aside from the journals) was an original ("M") Modron (NM) at $8 :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5923621253

David. ("still not here")


p.s. I thought that other CSIO "in the past three months" was the set which had been going around for some time and was incomplete and had other faults (someone here returned it previously, no?). Can't remember for sure...[/i]

Here's another Tegel. This one is a beauty....

and another....
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... RK:MEDW:IT
But that one was hole punched through both the book and maps.

A CSIO..

I was really bitter on not winning that one. I was on holiday on a cruise, and I didn't have internet access.

And at the moment there's two 2nd edition Magic Realms on eBay....

And two First Fantasy's....

Unfortunately, I haven't seen a first edition copy of The First Fantasy Campaign on eBay in a while (The 96 page 1977 copy, not the 64 page 1980 copy).
Let me know if anyone sees one.

Hmm... I'd been led to believe that one was incomplete/damaged/??, but just noticed it's Tadashi's, so that can't be the case, surely...
Heh, whatever!
