Me and Mike had a bidding war on this piece at Gencon , at one point I had to stop the auction and ask my wife if she had any room left on her credit card The biiding was in the $3000+ zone already and after having blown a few bucks already he wore me out. Congrats Mike. Great piece.

Earlier that evening as the gang and I plotted out what auction items to bid on. The DMG manuscript was a frenzy of excitement. Three large was going to be our limit, but when the crest was passed I looked to my buddy Shawn who gave me the knowing nod, even if it meant walking back to Florida… I don't think I would have gone past four-thousand that would be just insane. Or, maybe not, I'd think its value could be in the range of a 1st print woody.
