Okay, I just had to post this cuz of the BIN...



cgi.ebay.com/DUNGEONS-DRAGONS-ORIGINAL- ... dZViewItem



Makes me snicker.

Notice the seller isn't selling the books in the photos with it, and that he's also selling the same book in the larger lot. The seller said he split the lot but couldn't be bothered taking more photos and sorry for any confusion. What an assh.le!

Did I miss something here ? If so it may be time to dig out the boxes I have stuffed with JG shrink...I must have a couple of these.

unless some slipped under the radar that i didnt see, that is the first one of them i have seen in a year

and the other two that finished last week or so, were also the first ones i have seen in over a year.

for JG collectors, these are defo on a 4 scale at least, quite possibly 5 really. they are damn hard to get hold of.

if i had have seen that earlier i would have bid too.

dunno if its worth THAT much mind. that must verge almost on the highest price i have seen for a JG item. Ian sold his CSIO for £70.

mind you, for research, its worth every penny.

good win shane!

Now I knew this was going to go for a good amount seeing as the other bidder had bid on the other 2 1st prints increasing the highest bid amount each time. I hoped with how the 2 1st prints went, someone would post another (and glad it was a different print)
So yeah, its worth it for research, and if someone has one.. offer it to the 2nd place bidder...and if you have the blue cover copy I'll buy that. (Have to update #87 next update)

 I beiieve that this is the only copy I have ever seen with a color cover. Is it possibly a color insert, or do we have more than one edition?

Mark

Don't know..items are rare in that they don't come up often. What is the product list called in your copy and what is the highest humber it goes up to?

the one shane won looks different, which tells me two prints straight away.

The two sold by the same seller (both 1st prints) went for $53 (mine) and I believe $78+. There are 3 prints, which I should have updated on the site by end of week. Other then the 1st though (with Booty List upto 93) I'm only going by what JG87-Character Codex has them at currently (shall be a couple of weeks till I recieve the SWed '3rd'. While on the topic, the 1st print has 112 pages (so am wondeing if the other 2 have 96 pages)

killjoy32 wrote:just on the point tho in relation to rare. just cos something is rare, doesnt mean its worth tons of money.

one of the rarest items HAS to be the trek-80 thing. doesnt mean anyone would pay more than $2 for it tho

Al

Point 1: Things are worth only what you would pay for it.

Point 2: Uh no more then $2 huh...no comment

   I did not count the pages, but 96 sounds right...wait...it SAYS 96 pages right on the cover!  (So much for my powers of observation!)

  The product list is called the "Treasure Vault."  The highest product number on it is #270, Spies of Lightelf.

  My copy is pretty good, but it obviously sat on somebody's game shelf for a few years.  I quite like it.  

   The price is $4.50 and the product number and price appear on the top left of the cover, just above the cover art.
