I was just looking through a bunch of my old boxes and came across my old collection of Alarums and Excursions.  I have a set near complete of #1-45 with a few repirnts in there.  Any idea of there value?  I do not recall seeing these on Ebay for quite some time.

I also came across some very obscure old fanzines from the mid to late 70's, more on those later :)

Nice find.  Increment was offering big bucks for the early Alarums and Excursions not too long ago.

I think a a&e 1-90 odd was sold privatly here?? maybe thats was wild hunt.. I know a set was picked up (VERY) cheapley.. don't know if ot was on sold.. you know I'll be interested of course..

The lower numbers A&E are extremly hard to find, I did manage to pick up the first 12 or so for I think $5-$10US.. and I consider that Extremly cheap.. although they aren't that great, which you would understand if anyone has one;)

Brette:)

Same box stuffed in the back I found Quick Quincy Gazette #1-12 (1976-77), Fantasia mag - 5 different issues starting at #3 (circulation only 36-100 copies each 8O ) and The Fantorgn Scrolls - 12 different issues stating at #13.  These are really fun to look at :)   All are reference OD&D and the like.

Cool :)

Still digging, looking for the Wild Hunt, they are here somewhere :?

I bought them off of a local store owner here in Calgary quite some time ago, I am just in the midst of re-discovering my collection after a few years of house renovations.  So far I am up to 12 cabinets and bookcases of stuff (on display) and I have about 25 more boxes to go.  Man I bought lots of doubles of stuff  :?
