They are from my personal collection, but why not...If they sit there more than a month, we'll know the prices paid are BS.BTW, the reason they went for that much (hard to believe) is that these are the hardest to find issues in the series...much, much harder to find than even the first 10, or issues in the late 'teens that often have supplements pulled out. Reason being, right in the middle of the run (I think after 129?) is when TSR ceased publishing for almost a year. Most people dropped out of the RPGA at the time, and when it restarted, there were very few people still on the mailing list. Print runs are miniscule for some issues in the 120s/130s. Note: That still doesn't explain the extraordinary prices shown, it only means it should be maybe $5 more than the average issue.Mike B.

I was getting bored since there is little I'm still looking for, so it was fun to put some Polyhedrons back on the list to complete my set!I'm going to feel like an idiot, of course, if I never see that Polyhedron again for under $100...Mike B.

I also think the prices have tended to be lowish (recently). If I recall, around about $20 or so. Anyone remember?
