About 1 & 1/2 years ago I picked up installments 'I' through 'X' in one auction on eBay. It corresponds with Jamesmishler's list. Also some non-sub items like the four map City-State, 56 page City State booklet, 2nd edition Ready Ref Sheets in the purple booklet, and Character Chronicle cards. The Tac cards and Character Chronicle cards have the P.O. box. The seller accurately described the set as having read once as each installment arrived, then bagged and stored. It 's in beautiful condition.

(= Orange Tegel?)Was there any earlier point at which the orange-red version was for sale, itself?(Could reflect such matters in the printing history, or general "cover note" as to how the various installment releases were handled vs. the "components" available at a later date- either en-masse or in smaller "groups", per the Booty lists).

Shane, There are no envelopes. The original owner must have placed the installments in plastic bags and ditched the envelopes. In the bag with installment M there is a monstrous compendium sheet. Since the original owner took good care of these items I assume it came with the installment, but I can't be sure....
