Anyone wanted venture a opinion on what the RPGA Adv Guild items should be valued at?  I'd say probably 100 each? Too low? too high? Lets hear your opinions.

Hi Rhea, thanks for your valuable input about the adventurers guild modules.  I do agree with you that these modules should become very valuable (much higher than the R's and RPGA's) once word spreads around on how rare they are. Right now, people aren't sure what to pay for them as they are still relatively unknown to many collectors. Give it time and when people start trying to get them to finish off their collections, the demand will be on.

Hi Adrian, you stole the words out of my mouth!  One of the things many collectors need to watch out is for counterfeits like you said. They are in black and white paper so people could go to a kinkos and get many printed.   People should also watch out for the Jade Hare (coverless). I have seen a few counterfeits floating around.  I hope demand goes up for the adv guild items but I don't want to see counterfeits being sold as real. This community needs to really work together to watch out for things like that.  An alternative is to buy from well known and established collectors like Rhea. Blackdougal (Adrian) is an established collector but I don't think he wants to sell his items adv guilds yet

Michael, (cigar man) you mean Adv Guild items not Judges Guild items right? Like Adrian has said, they look like the Jade Hare (coverless). Just black and white with no pictures.   Supercollector Rhea there sent the acaeum almost every adv guild pictures and information. You can find it on the acaeum. Just click on rare items and then a few items from the top of the list you will see adv guild modules. From there you can find out pictures and information and perhaps see if the item you have is a adv guild item or not.  On the introduce yourself topic, you mentioned your location was Northern California. I'm currently up in Northern California for college so if you happen to be near me, I'd be glad to take a look and see if it is a adv guild item. Perhaps we can talk, get to know each other, talk about collection, etc.

Howdy Alan, glad to see you joined the forums as well.   The adv guild modules don't really have any special bindings,etc but I'm sure if a copy came up you could spot it by looking at the type and size of paper used, ink inconsistencies, stapling, etc. If you happen to have a legit module you could also compare the two and can easily spot differences.  I used that technique to spot out a jade hare fake and it was well made fake. Person used the right size of paper the original Jade Hare used, area were the stapling should be, etc.   I guess with technology these days anything can be very well copied. Everyones best bet is to get them from a store, person, etc who can provide history on how they got the modules, etc and even buying from established collectors is a safe thing to do.

Hi Bragi, actually $100 doesn't seem too pricey for these modules. Many people pay $100+ for the RPGA's and R modules. Wouldn't you call those pricey? What about $700+ for b3 oranges, etc? From the consensus of the big collectors, these adv guild modules are very rare.  At this point, the price is undetermined as very few have been sold publicly besides private deals and offers. Also pls note that it was only a few months ago that the acaeum has put information about these up. They are still relatively unknown and may take a while before more collectors know of this. I do agree with you that only serious collectors would want these items. Afterall, there are about 80 of them to complete a set and would cost a lot of money to complete.  Finding buyers for these items is fairly easy. There are some big boys on the acaeum forums who are searching for these items. Just gotta know who to contact. Also pls note that their was a man selling about 40+ adv guild modules sometime in March/April. He was getting high bids on them and even very high private offers. This was on ebay by the way. This was way before acaeum covered the adv guild modules. So that tells you there are quite a few people interested in acquiring them then.

Or maybe they are worth only about $20 each   Adam

Here is a huge pile of Adv Guild up for auction.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... egory=2545  The seller has another huge lot of photocopied adventures meticulously taken from various dragon and dungeon magazines.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... egory=2545  Here within lies the problem with Adventurers Guild items. They are very easy to counterfeit. Simple photocopier can reproduce these items and there is no way to know for sure what is real. It should be interesting to see how much they fetch anyhow...  BTW Mike, I dont know why Rhea would be mad .  Adam

I think these items are great, however as you'll never know if you are getting the origional or a photocopy, in my opinion are not worth much...  Think back to how they were first printed. What probably happened if that someone in the marketing department printed out a copy from a PDF file on their computer, got a list of stors that had ordered it and then sat down and photocopied it 60+ and then sent it out (remember it would be a lot faster and cheaper just to photocopy it than print em all out on a printer). Now what did the store do when they got it? Well some would be collectors and kept a copy of it, others would of actually used the thing. So they either kept the 1 copy they more than likely got and used that (unlikely in my opinion) or they photocopied it themselves so that could used em several times and kept a nice clean copy on file. If they used it and didn't photocopy it it would soon be dirty, written on, coffee/coke/pizza spilled all over it....  second, whats to stop someone just photocopying a whole lot of em? or maybe even scanning OCR'ing it and printing out again (to get the printed look instead of photocopy look)????
