 Yeah Mike, those items are kicking some ass at $3 a piece!     Adam

 I think that that the certs are only gift cerficates for people that run/won the module, yes? so wouldn't really matter...

I believe the certificates that you are talking about are coupons for magic items, bonuses,... for your PC in RPGA sanctioned game (Living Greyhawk, Living City, ... ).   These certs. are unique as the DM files the paperwork for game with RPGA (which keeps track of the information). The player can then use his/her character with certs.  in another RPGA game.   <This is how I understand RPGA-sanctioned games are run.  If I am wrong, please correct me.>  Ã

If the Adventurer's Guild modules have the certificates intact, that would make the module complete and worth considerably more than a used module missing certicates.  How rare would a complete module be?  Consider this, the store that bought this module, bought it to be played.  I don't think you'll find many intact.    IMHO, I don't consider Adventurer's Guild modules to be official TSR products, they are RPGA modules which there are hundreds of.  Don't get me wrong, the R-and RPGA- series modules are official as they spent some time in production and made available to the public.  Is there a market for RPGA modules? Don't know. As long as I have been around, I haven't seen much mainstream talk about RPGA and/or convention modules.  Ã

I am having trouble understanding one of Daniels explanations:  

IMHO, I don't consider Adventurer's Guild modules to be official TSR products, they are RPGA modules which there are hundreds of.  

 If I remember correctly, the R modules and RPGA modules are rpga modules for the rpga network and their are hundreds of them. I assume they aren't tsr too? If the adv guild modules had a cover, you'd say they'd be official tsr products? Explain plz.

 Bah, I say.  While I admit to having a certain fetish that's hard to resist when rare and worth items manage to fall into my power, I am primarily a Greyhawk collector.  Hence my interest in the GH AG modules, rather than all of the AG modules.    That said, if I found some non-GH ones at reasonable prices, I wouldn't hesitate to pick them up as trade bait, so that I could more easily acquire the other GH AG adventures that I don't own already

I was the one who bought the Marvel Super Hero AG modules a week ago from this dealer.  I got them in the mail yesterday.  Three are originals and one was a photocopy.  I am still pretty happy with the result.  If anyone else here won the other lots, I would be curious to compare notes and see the ratio on those sets.  Mkman, I contacted the fellow who was selling them, and he claimed that some of the AG modules in that final lot were originals.  That was why I was willing to go so high, but lost in the end.  It is a darn good thing the WOTC lawyers don't snoop this forum.[/quote]

Hey Dave, how many "real" AG modules were in the $800 lot? Also were you the person who asked about the certificates for the lot of 33 AG items that went for $300+?  Please let me know what you know about the sellers AG auctions like how many real, fakes, etc  Thanks!
