  I have the cash I did not have then...as do a lot of guys. That, probably as much as anything else, is what is fueling the rise in prices on Ebay. :)


not all prices are rising. only the ones that are in most demand. the "i have just got to have it" kinda items.

I think that the hard to find prices are rising because so many guys are on their last collector's items.

36 and started playing '81. I've only been collecting since I won Revenant at Christmas. Seven months I guess.


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

i've prb got more JG stuff than most volume wise, but am so far off completing my JG collection, it just isnt even worth considering the point :)

i think it would totally suck to finish it anyway, cos for me, all the fun would go out of it. i would prb sell it all and then start again :D

Yes...that is why i am taking my time on the last JG D&D items.   (Well...that and the prices.)  I do not really want to "finish" the collection because that would be the end of the fun.

I guess that is why people start collecting original art or trivia pieces and try to get ahold of unique items.
