Hey all,

Last night I listed several old modules in varying states of condition, and as I was prepping the auction for B4 The Lost City, I realized that the spread of page 6 / page 23 was "washed out", pretty much to the point of illegibility, especially on the "spineward" halves of each page.   :x

What I wanted to know was -- does a printer's error like this decrease the value of a given module, or would it somehow increase it??

Considering that the buyer wouldn't be able to read these two pages, I would think its value would be decreased considerably, but I figured I'd wander on over and ask just the same.

Cheers, JohnH aka Wandering Monster

I agree with you.
Makes it near worthless IMO.
If you have another copy, I would add in zerox copies of those pages as a free bonus to complete it for folks wanted to run the adventure.

Even if it was a rare module instead of a common one, I cannot picture that problem increasing the value of the item.

I did have a second copy of The Lost City, but I'd already sold it and shipped it out before I discovered the problem with this one!  PDT_Armataz_01_19
