The prices on these can vary a fair bit.

I'm sure I bought a few sets of these from you, years ago. I ended up reselling some of them - the last lot was this one:

http://www.petrick.ca/tsr/shrink/TSRbadges.jpg

Which I sold for around $40 as a lot last year. The buyer of this lot (also a member here) resold a number of the items from the lot individually and I think may a tidy profit as well. Ultimately, I think selling from the US is better than selling from Canada which is better than selling from the UK

Most of the items would vary from $5-$25. The better selling ones are the patches (TSR more so than Al-Qadim) and the RPGA pin over the others. The button being near the bottom. I don't recall the GenCon keychain tag so that might do the best since there are a number of the others out there already.

I'm not sure if I'm the buyer Mars is referencing but I did pick up some of these from him. But I still have mine.

Once it comes into my coveting hands, I have a hard time parting ways. :wink:

I enjoy collecting some of the more unusual items such as these. I think Mars is right with his pricing estimate.

That being said, if you do decide to part ways with them, I'd be interested.

Carpe DM!

They are now listed in the Classifieds.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Hi, I'd also be interested in bidding for the lot. I'm in Spain so also lower shipping costs for me

Any idea when these were produced?

It wasn't while *I* was running RPGA...
It's the 2nd logo tho (adopted after I left), so it may have been in the Eastland or Petticord or Rabe periods...

I had the enameled pin with the blue and green logo; that was during Jean Rabe's tenure, if I recall correctly.
