I started playing D&D back in about 1979 at 14-15 years old, and started attending GenCon a year or so later during the Parkside years. Great memories of camping out at this crappy little campground a couple miles walk from the Con before having my drivers license!Preview - from memory:The Regular StuffWhite Box (probably OCE) and all the original supplements.PhB, MM, DMG - beat up early printings (bought as soon as local shop had them).Dragon Mag - Issues 11+Dungeon Mag - First dozen or so issuesComplete set of GazeteersThe first 10 years or so of published modules.Lots of Judges Guild adventures (but no orignal City State).Divine Right - well played. We loved this game.Early Harn stuffRole Aids - etc.Too much to list all - 100+ lbs.Premium and semi-unique items - Appreciate any ballpark value estimates!Gygax auotgraphed Dieties and Demigods (with Cthulhu).A numbered copy of Tomoachan. Picked it up at Dungeon Hobby in Lake Geneva on the way home from GenCon one year. If Acaeum wants to log it as "found", I'll dig it out and get the number.Dragonlance Poster - Autographed following the original Dragonlance reading at Parkside by all the performers. These might be some of the very first DL autographs. I'll see if I can make out all who signed it. No one knew who any of these folks were at the time . Anyone else attend that dramatic reading? It was pretty memorable. Janet Pack's first performance as Taselhoff. I had an instant crush!My personal copy of Treasures of Greyhawk, along with the original (dot matrix printed I think?) pre-submission version of the Helm of Selnor adventure, which I authored for ToG. Willing to autograph - which would be the only one in existence, and probably degrade the value still further!Time to start digging. If folks are curious about any of these items, I will update as I sort. Sorry in advance if it takes me some time between updates - my wife has different ideas about how I should be spending our limited free time!

However, a think a few pictures of the items that might be the most critical for estimating value (once unpacked) can be managed if I send her out shopping!My folks are in town to visit the their grandkids for the next week or, but after that I will arrange a suitable distraction and start to get some photos on the more interesting items. Which items are folks interesting in seeing?I will see if I can start to tackle the first box over Labor Day.Thanks everyone here for the encouragement. I need the motivation to start the slog through this pile!BTW - has anyone ever seen a video of that original Dragonlance reading? I seem to remember a cam-corder set up in the back of the room...Right then - less nostalgia and more slogging!
