Hello all -
I am trying to gather any information regarding any prior sales of the James Goldman Dungeons & Dragons movie script from 1982 - the one that was never produced.
I am familiar with all of the history and background, but have not found any prior sales or estimates of value.

Currently, I am in the process of liquidating all of Brian Blume's TSR memorabilia/games and two copies of the script are in his collection.

Any further information would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if it's the same script, but a D&D movie script sold for about $125 last year.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Thanks for the link.
It's pretty hard to tell if it's the same script without any photos available. His description says 118 pages, which is different from the two I have.

I think that even if your movie script is different the end result would be similar.

I will be posting more info shortly regarding the sale.
As an FYI, there are a number of belt buckles (including red-backed RPGA - one of 3 made, I am told), medallions, wood box 1st printing D&D, 1st Edition AD&D books with Brian's name printed on the front covers (gift from the printer), C.A. Reed party accessories, TSR Chess Set, TSR Employee Handbooks, modules/box sets of D&D, AD&D, Boot Hill, Conan, Marvel Super Heroes, Indiana Jones, Star Frontiers, Gang Busters, and lots more. Stay tuned...

Will you be posting these items on EBay?

I expect that there would likely be quite a number of items of historical interest in Brian Blume's collection. There are several members on the Acaeum who are quite expert in this area, and I hope that they will have an opportunity to examine anything that may shed further light on the history of the game.

As for me, I would hope that some of the more interesting collectibles do find a way to a forum for sale. I would certainly be an interested buyer for an item or two or three . . . . :lol:

I would hope/suggest that as many personal items as possible be autographed, thereby authenticating & adding value, imo
