Was going to put this in the 'fun finds', but I'm not so sure.
The box itself shows little shelf wear. Both lid and bottom are slightly caved (lid moreso), the bottom having a 'dirty' appearance and a couple of scoring marks. The biggest issue is one of the corners is torn.
The rules book is very clean, probably
VF if not for a couple of creases on the cover and an accidental pen mark on the back. Pages nice and crispy, no writing.
The M&TA looks very clean. Very little corner bumping at all. No writing. No folds, but a slight crease on the first page. Probably
VF as well.
Dice look nearly unused, though the
d20 has been altered (dots added in permanent marker to denote 11, 12, 13, etc.)
The geomorphs are the shame of the box. Only 3 of the sheets remain uncut. These 3 seem to show little wear, but some is indeed evident (one or two creases). Of the other 3, I seem to be missing a piece, and there are a number of folds and creases throughout.
All in all, thought I did pretty well considering the condition of the M&TA alone, plus the rules book, but I'm not so certain. The set looks like it got very little use, and was the victim of a few 'accidents' and 'preparatory' use of the geomorphs and dice. Price was $21 including shipping.
On a related note: am I missing the entry for the Holmes rule book value somewhere? I recall these were sold individually, but I see no breakdown on the price guides for the individual piece.
