There's light staining on about a dozen of the items. Including a small corner of Eldritch. All the JG stuff was safe though.

mbassoc2003 wrote:I still want the separate Installments you bought in November though. I want to see the original edition, not the Revised one. There was a first Tegel Manor in there too. It seems as though the initial Installment was printed with a red cover, and the general release was printed in an orange cover. That's just a curiosity.

mbassoc2003 wrote:The copy I bought from Keith (November's Auction) is distinctly red, and from the separate auction of JG Journals and your Installment, I get the impression this one was the Installment from one of the JG Journals.
mbassoc2003 wrote:The copy I've just got came shrinkwrapped with a flysheet (which is really quite attractive IMO), but is essentially identical to the Installment. There are two differences that I have noticed. This one has an orange cover (both sides so not light bleached) and it comes with a character log sheet (also orange) thich was abscent from the first.I'm not sure. You'd have to ask someone with a much bigger collection than mine.
