The collection includes hundreds and hundreds of hand drawn maps and illustrations from multiple TSR products from the late 1980s to about the early 2000s. Most all of the works in question are from the earlier end of that range. The works are absolutely beautiful and are all hand drawn and hand inked. Also included in the collection is the artists Tiffany glass TSR paper weight and some original one of a kind TSR weapon props he made for cover art mock ups. Lastly the are some massive sized TSR map banners use at Gencon that are 1 of 2 or 3 ever printed.

A big collection to consider!! I am looking to wrap my head around this as its clearly a unique collection. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

The work is all original and hand drawn and inked making the pieces themselves unique. In many cases there are multiple stages of the art work down to the original camera ready pieces. For starters I need to know how to value a collection like this and what people would be willing to pay for it via private auction.
