Shall I continue with the next TSR box, or would folks rather wander into the JG , Roleaids, Harn stuff?

Updated list of items I still need help on [edited 9/12/11 to add values]:
Signed DL poster - 1984 dramatic reading
Dragontales Anthology (1980 Dragon Publishing): 5$
Citadel Journel (spring 1987): $5-20
Ares #1 unpunched ($20)
Ares #3 punched ($5-10?)
Secrets of the Sages (summer 1988 - the only issue I think)
The Dungeon retail order blank (Nov 1980): worthless?
Dragons of Winter Night handbill (GenCon 18 - photo on thread page 2)

If folks arent fatigued of this thread yet, I will try to get more up this weekend.

Thanks - With all the help I'm getting, I think I will have to buy a round of beers next year at Indy for these amazing Acaeum forum members!

It would make a great epilogue to your story.

The auction report for Gen Con 2011 has been posted here:

http://www.livegameauctions.com/index.p ... &Itemid=13

As a general matter, I agree with others that prices are usually lower at Gen Con.  But not always.  If it's something that stratochamp, Blackmoor or I would be interested in, you're likely to get the same price or even higher.  Assuming we're in the room at the time it comes up, of course.  

Unpunched Ares mags (any number) sell for $20 plus consistently. Anything less is a bargain for the buyer.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I opened up ebay and paypal accounts his weekend, and even bid on a few things to get my feet under me. No winning bids - but thats just fine as I start to make sense of everything.

NTRPG con sounds like a blast, even if autographs be hanged! Life permitting, I might just pencil it in.

I have gone back and updated the original messages with the values from the last box. Roughly $1000 out of that lot - bringing the total so far up to around $3000. Still a couple boxes to go as well.

Here is an updated list of "open items":

Signed DL poster - 1984 dramatic reading
Ares #3 punched ($5-10?)
Secrets of the Sages (summer 1988 - the only issue I think)
"The Dungeon" retail order blank (Nov 1980): worthless?
Dragons of Winter Night handbill (GenCon 18 - photo on thread page 2)
Shadowrun 7101 (1989), screen, unpunched counters, Silver Angel, and 1989 and 1990 update flyers.
The Iron Wind (1980)  
Judge Dread Collection (IPC 1985)

A remarkably small list consdiering how much has been posted!

This weekend I also found the printed prebublication manuscript for Helm of Selnor. It is a workinng copy with a couple edits scribbled in, and it is likley the only one in existance.

So what would a lot composed of the following be approximately valued at? :
- Tresures of Grayhawk (signed authors copy - one of many authors to be sure though).
- 4 pages of handwritten mansuscript (including my hand drawing of the helm in the margin).
- The complete prepublication working copy.

Guesses?

I will try to get started on the next box this week, but I have some travel coming up so no promises...

$30-50 for a 1st Iron Wind sounds about right (assuming it is in good shape). I have one too from way back when, so I tend to watch them on eBay to see how they fare.

Thanks for the pic of the Grenadier bolt thrower

Additional background info:

Would these be in the ballpark?

Early DragonLance autographs: $50
Helm of Selnor manuscripts and signed Treasures of Greyhawk: $75-150

Take a vote - too high or too low!

Thanks
