"The book that you now own may have been part of the TSR library collection or may have not been."Was it typical for TSR to have 4 such copies for their Library?

So the overspending on the Kara Tur makes you a lot healthier...just look at it that way! Plus you can still sell the KT box at some point....

Sir Kill Alot wrote:LOL, thanks Mike. BTW, I think 1K of that money went into your coffers. I'll have to add it up. Maybe not...I'll just depress myself again.-Len

Aneoth wrote:I seriously doubt that any but completists would bid for a Jade Hare over even a third print woodie. Same for any of the Pre-Pubs and tourney modules and many other rare D&D items as well. And as stated above, I would also jump all over a full set of Aussies (SW or not) over a Covered Jade Hare.... ANY TIME.That useless cover does absolutely NOTHING for me as a collector and it most certainly adds NOTHING for playablity of Jade Hare, while the aussies do a lot for me as a collector and they can be played. The same goes for ALL of the other so called common rares you listed above.

I am trying not to speak for anyone else here, but I would imagine that you are probably in the minority with your views.-Len
