I was hoping for some advice on the value(if any), on the books in this collection. From what I can tell everything says 2nd edition. Thanks for any help.

You can get an idea of selling price by checking ebay for each title and see what they have sold for and what people are asking for each one in a similar condition to the ones you have. Box sets can be a bit of work.
throwi wrote in Book Collection:Restating what has already been said, selling box sets can be tricky if they are incomplete (or worse, listed as complete when not!). Shipping is a killer with these items.Pay particular attention to the Red Steel and Karamiekos sets for the CD (often missing).The Forgotten Realms City System often is missing a few cutouts/maps. Night Below has tons of parts so really check that one out.The North, if complete, will likely be your best seller as it often sells for good prices if in nice condition. The Tomb of Horrors, Spellbound, and the Night Below are good ones too.The Spelljammer box sets may be hard to get rid of, with the Elminster's Ecologies box a close second (who wants 7 books on the FR ecology?) ;-)Good luck to you!~throwi

I know some did (Spelljammer had ships you cut-out I think).

Only 1 of my 3 copies is complete (thanks Doug!).~throwi

JasonZavoda wrote in Book Collection:I just checked on google and it looks like Night Below did have at least one cut out sheet. A aboleth, some little figures of monsters and such, maybe a second sheet with some dungeon overlays.
throwi wrote in Book Collection:I stand corrected, the last 2 card sheets are cut-outs. Either way, there's a good chance something gets misplaced with a set like this - still hard to find complete for a good price.~throwi
