I used to DM for TSR at their UK GamesFair and each year I was given a commemorative glass etched with a dragon logo (like the RPGA pin) and 'GamesFair XX'
The glasses are pretty plain, heavy bottomed.
I have 8 (1982 to 1989) the 1989 version is a bit larger (they changed suppliers I guess?)

I've searched the forum archives to no avail - is glassware too far off topic to be included here?

Anyhow, any advice about whether these are worth shipping to a collector or just shipping to the trash heap most welcome.

Apologies if I don't reply promptly - I'm off to visit the Somme (and maybe drink some Belgium beer). I'm back next week.

I can't figure out how to add images ..... so if you're interested look here http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0094009/photos/flymypretties/

Thanks!

I'll bet you could probably find someone in the UK who would be interested in them and probably also a few people would be happy to pay shipping worldwide for them too.

TSR and GenCon both made mugs.  They don't seem to sell for tons of money - in the $10-$20 range.  I would guess $100 + shipping for the set would be obtainable/reasonable.

Of more interest and probably more value would be the adventures that you DM'd.  What happened to those?

I'd follow Ian's suggestion... and i wouldnt be surprised if every glass is sold for approx 50 bucks (assuming you sell them separately)... these are little gems for the hard-TSR collectors (prb they will make a link with the UK RPGA: i remember that logo on the newletters, is that coorrect?)

Hey Mark,

These:

We worked from A4 printouts of the modules and scribbled all over them - I may have some in the attic but they're in terrible condition.

are exactly what would be of interest.  If you dig them out of the attic, please let us know.

Enjoy Belgium - they do amazing beer!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply, its good that these glasses have a chance of finding a home with someone who will value them.

I pondered giving them all away (and the '89 glass is promised) but lawrenson made an excellent suggestion - I will donate the '82 to '88 glasses to the Dragonmeet 2011 charity auction - with apologies to the non-UK interested parties (although perhaps you can get a proxy bidder).

That gives me an excuse to go to Dragonmeet for the first time this century (ghod I feel old sometimes ....).
If you know who I should contact about handing over the glasses feel free to let me know.  

And sometime I must go up the loft and dig out the boxes of really old stuff ....

Finally, yes Belgian Beer 'Goooood' ..... we discovered in Ieper (Ypres or 'Wipers') a new one called Hommel ......

Sometimes you can't even give stuff away .... over the past few months I've used the 'Contact Us' link on the Dragonmeet site three times to try and get some idea of who I could give the TSR glasses to on the day so they got to the auction .... no acknowledgement, no reply .... so I'm saving the train fare, the glasses will stay in the attic and the charity will get less cash .....

If anyone wants the reamining 7 glasses and can figure a way to pick them up from Portsmouth then just let me know .....

Regards
Mark Byng
