Some say part it out, some say by lots, and the appraisals so far seem to be very off. I have one that places a $500 max, and another that shows me a lot that is just a motley collection compared to mine that sold for $355, which suggests that my collection is worth far more.One person even suggested that I didn't really have any shining jewels in the collection. Quite honestly, I think all of you missed some very important facts about the collection. First, I am not just a player of the game, I have ammased this collection personally over two decades of my life. Second, although I do not deal in collecting regularly, I am extremely familiar with the rarity of some of the pieces in this collection and I do believe you are vastly underestimating it's value.For instance, of the 34 hardcover books, I have a complete set of original covers (1st edition - 6 books [double Dieties & Demigods and DM Guide]) and the re-release covers (1st edition - 13 books including Fiend Folio), First release 2nd edition books (6 books hardcover), Players Option release (5 books - including the re-released Monster Manual), the 3rd edition books (3 books, mint condition) and the Rules Cyclopedia. I have a 1st PRINTING and 2nd PRINTING of the Deities and Demigods, both in very good to near mint condition, these are the only two printings to have the extra two chapters not included since in any other release.The set of modules I listed are the ORIGINAL set, two have the original wizard logo, one (D3) in the original monochrome cover in near mint condition.One of you said that my collection is not focused. You missed that the collection is focused, on the core ruleset, very little of the collection is a specialized world setting and a great deal of the collection is the complete basic rulebooks from all the editions.How about the "jewel" that seems to be missing, has anyone considered that the collector card set in the UNOPENED box? it's 12 years old and in mint condition.I will take the pictures suggested in one post, because I do believe that seeing is believing. Now, can we get down to brass tacks and appraise each item to come up with a value for the entire collection? Please tell me what I need to provide you in order to come up with the proper value of these items, I'll handle the valuation from there.
