Nice stash of unopened minis. About how many loose minis do you have?

Mike is a good guy. I got to know him a little bit when I worked at WoTC. That's really cool that he authored the 87 open scenario.

If I recall correctly, Mike has written a number of modules for RPGA tournaments, and I remember him back in the day when he was playing his priest of Heimdal for the Living City campaign...  :)

Nice to learn a little more about Mike. Thanks guys!

@ TollHouseGolem

I have maybe 100-200 or so loose D&D appropriate minis. All my oldest stuff is loose.

I also have several miniature heavy games (not counted in my garage boxes) which boost the total significantly. I know I have Fantasy Warriors, Advanced HeroQuest (no expansions though), Warhammer Fantasy (the edition with High Elves vs goblins), Battlemasters, Epic Space Marines (with lots of the extras), Titan Legions, and a few more I am sure will pop up.

Estimates for stuff posted up here so far. Make corrections or help me fill in the blanks. Ranges are fine - this just needs to get me in the ballpark.
Tamoachan 154: $1000-1500
AD&D PBM: $50-100
AD&D open scenarios: ?
GW novels (assume VF): ?
Inferno #1-#9 (assume VF): ?
Unopened minis: ?
Gygax signed Dieties (Cthulhu): need scan, or give me a ballpark?
Signed DL poster: Need picture I think? Confirm which signatures.

Will try to get new stuff posted up every couple days. Again - this will only be the stuff I cant already find estimates easily on this site, or posted here but rare enough that an opinion is probably needed.

Thanks again - you guys are great!

If you ever decide to let the Epic Space Marines stuff go I'd love to buy them after foolishly selling my own collection off a few years ago. I wonder if you have the old Space Marine novel (that is a hard one to get hold of).

Wonderful Collection you have there.

I wouldn't be surprised if your open tourneys go into the hundreds of dollars a piece. You should keep them in sets if the rounds are ment to go together, but if they are clearly seperate tourneys/seperate Con's, sell then seperately. Those are big ticket items and they'll attract the big players who, for the most part, have more Tamo's than they can ever use.

Looking in my notes, Selinker wrote at least the following magazine modules:
Death of An Archmage in Dragon #111 (AD&D murder mystery)
Camel's Nose in Polyhedron #29 (humorous AD&D adventure in April issue, has intelligent camels as a race)
The New Janeeva Herald-Prognosticator in Polyhedron #40 (Gamma World, characters are investigative journalists in a waterfront city)
Dr. Brown's Miracle Juice in Polyhedron #43 (Boot Hill, characters must transport nitroglycerin disguised as sodas, used at Gen Con 1987)

Pretty creative stuff!

From the Polyhedron magazine index search, he's also credited in
Polyhedron 46 Junk Bonds (TS/SI)
Polyhedron 48&49 Cataclysm (AD&D)
Polyhedron 49 For-Rest Inn (LC setting)
Polyhedron 81 Renegade's Run (LC scenario)

I also found these too, in case you're interested
Dungeon #52 "Spirits of the Tempest" (adaptation)
Dragon 225-229 for Indian subcontinent classes, spells, etc

The original GW novels are tough to price.  99% of the stories have been reprinted over the years, and I'm not clear what the market is for originals.  As Jason mentioned, Space Marine was the rare one, but even that was reprinted recently, so demand is likely down.  I'd guess maybe $7-15 for these.  You might do well with a fantasy lot and a 40k lot on ebay.



The lower number issues of Inferno are actually a lot more common than the high numbers, so probably only cover price or so for those.


Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

I missed that with the original Space Marine reprint. is it still called Space Marine? When did it come out?

One other thing to check, if you flip past that title page to pg 4, is there a "Special thanks are also give to Chaosium..." line as the last sentence at the bottom?

Hey misterspock,

Well that Gygax signature puts some money on that item too. :)

Best regards,

No "special thanks". I think this is a first printing.

Yes just a wee bit :D

I couldn't remember if it was Gen Con XIII that the book was originally sold at, but that looks like one of those very first printings.

Next box starts with some periodicals:

Dragontales Anthology
Tortured Souls - #1 and #3 (2 is likely hiding somewhere)
HarnLore #1 (spring 1987)
Citadel Journel (also spring 1987)
Ares #1 unpunched
Ares #3 punched
Dungeon #1-#7

Then a big bunch of modules. Will check if any of them are interesting.
