Hello!
I am grateful to have found your informative webpages and now this forum.

I am looking for an appraisal on my fathers collection of original D&D books.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/HVivRfz9wBuQ6UgF7

Every book minus the reference sheets has a small foil yin-yang sticker either on the inside cover or back cover. The box lid also has one on the interior. only book 1 of the box set has any writing in it.

6th or 7th printing - OCE OD&D Box set - lid of the box is taped as multiple sides had ripped.
book 1 has one small snippet of writing (photo included)
reference sheets book - the staples have the prongs on the exterior of the spine, if this makes any difference. no notes in book, however the back 2 pages have one small spot of something gluing them together, I did not try to pry them apart. There may have been a yin-yang sticker here at some point thus causing the some adhesive to remain and stick the pages together.

Greyhawk - 12th printing
Blackmoor - 9th printing
Eldritch Wizardry - 9th printing
Gods, demi-gods and heroes - 7th printing

Chainmail - 3rd edition - 7th printing

Thank you for any assistance!

As a lot, you would probably be looking at $650-$750.  Sold separately, they might sell towards the higher end of that number.
