Now that things have been so nicely hammered out by Plaag… What do you fellow collectors think?

Please exclude unique items like art or manuscripts.

One of them would be the Character Chronicle Cards

Great list Plaag.

Thanks.

I took a few photos of what I've found so far. I've got more digging around to do



Dungeon Level Maps I 1-5 (1st printing)



4 sheet City State Player Map



No Copyright City-State map

And I've got to get one of those Invincible Overlord Shirts   . Oh, Man I'd love to wear that at GenCon…

No problem Plaag… It's the least I can do.

I don't have a scanner here, hence the snapshots, but I'll get access to one. And yes the White instalment I came in the same mailer with those 4 no copyright maps, and the 4-sheet players maps as well.

I just noticed this. It's a 17" x 22" player's map with a JG copyright and it's on a different paper stock. It's sort of a ruff paper, it's a different color, and there is no Hammermill watermark.

Here's a comparison of the three. The top is the 4-sheet, the second is what you have listed as the 17" X 22" and it's marked with the Hammermill Bond watermark, the third is the above mentioned 17" x 22".



Edit - I just noticed the three maps have different map scales. The 4-sheet doesn't have one, and the Hammermill one has a larger one than the copyrighted one. Interesting…      this is the kind of stuff that gets me into trouble with the lady. "You're spending all your time with those old books again"  

IttyBitty,

Here's an unopened set of Chronicle's still in the shrink.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH    

Are you interested in selling them???

Or, was that one a different edition of the four-sheet map?

I ended up buying one of Fencert's sets for just over $20...and it included the shrinkwrapped CSIO map set, among others.

Yeah, he was selling the Hammermill Bond versions, though I ended up having one of those sets contain 1 non-Hammermill Bond map (out of the 4) so those sets can contain a gem.

Al,

those early dungeoneers .... you just pipped me on a private sale a wee while back.

what was interesting was that I believe I offered exactly the same for them, I was just too slow making my mind up...

cheers,

Brian

Private sale?  Where does one find these?

Yeh, I love them too, it's some of Paul Jaquays earliest work.



Their a great art and literary D&D zine



Found myself with doubles of 2 and 3 after a lot purchase, and the two I picked up from Tadashi Ehara.



What's cool to think about is that 30+ years ago, these were together in a pile, being carried to the post office in Spring Arbor, MI by collage age Paul Jaquays. #2 was mailed on Oct 5, 1976, and #3 was mailed on Jan 5, 1977. One traveled to San Francisco and the other to Maryville Missouri both via subscription . Now together again…

Just fun to think about.

Nice pics, IO.
*remembers those auctions well*

*g*... And I'm still missing those two issues, IIRC.

Is that a mailed copy of #7, btw? Don't remember seeing those seal tabs before.
