They must not have, mordrin, I just have a hard time believing it. One of life's little mysteries, I guess.
FoulFoot wrote:Actually, Judges Guild themselves was the culprit. Upon re-emerging a few years ago, they began selling an enormous amount of vintage items that were supposedly overstock from the warehouse. All of these items were mint and in the shrinkwrap. Now, whether they were actually re-printing the items (I suspect they were), or really just clearing out 25-year-old material, who knows. The items that they're selling (and may still be selling via their website) are indistiguishable from the items originally sold in the 70's and 80's.Foul

He said it was being delivered to him from California in a shipping container, one of those 40' x 8' metal boxes. I was at his home picking up a large collection of older Shrinked JG Items. I am quite certain they were originals and in the original SW. His stuff was NOT re-shrinked.He also told me that JG's US rep told him that JG was gearing up for a return to making new modules for the D20 and 3.5 Edition systems for AD&D.

Interestingly, I just checked him out on ebay-- his prices have skyrocketed in the 2 months or so since I bought a pile from him. Perhaps because he's cornered the market?
