Only a very small number were stated to have been made but they'd need a good provenance (e.g. Tadashi) for further investigation/comparison/etc.

That sound like military intelligence or jumbo shrimp. We've probably been down this road before David, but to me the only PVQ with any value is the First print, with the Black Folder. Ultimately that is what one is buying (in my opinion). In mentioning OD&D supplements, I can only assume that you mean Inverness, Tamoachan Tsojconth etc. Well same thing. Who would buy the interior pages without the cardstock exterior? No one, that's where the value exists and the (relative) proof of authenticity.I'm not suggesting that I was privy to the 10-secong meeting where Capt. Lou sashayed over to Bob Bledsaw, asked him if he could run off some copies of out of print modules and before Lou could even finish trying to sell him a 100-sided die, Bob waived him back to his booth with a "Sure, run off whatever you want Lou, I trust you." If as Badmike suggested, the number of photocopies was "limited", I think it was limited by the fact that Lou probably made three initial photocopies and wouldn't make more until he had actually sold one at his booth. Overhead and all.Now Lou is a giant in the history of our hobby (especially for us collectors) and I'm not trying to make fun of him (just his Zocchihedrons). I'm also not trying to give a hard time to the person that spent $13 on the Inferno photocopy (they probably just want a cheap play copy). And I respect very much the diligence and attention that faro has brought to the examination of the items that we collect. I merely respectfully disagree that this product should be considered "collectable" in any way, or even a product worth cataloging. To me it's just an old photocopy, and a poor one at that.

By producing a rough-looking copy, researchers are in effect assuring the copyright holder that copies are made for legitimate purposes will not replace the original, & so should be regarded as fair use. Zocci may have had that in mind, as a way to avoid offending collectors.
