Howard is the seller (or that's how I read his response).  Tsojconth was used at (and only at) Wintercon in 1976.  You're thinking of Lost Tamoachan.

lumberjacques has been on eBay for a long time.  He's not an unpleasant fellow.  Maybe reading too much into his commentary.  He has sold several Tsojconths and Fazzlewoods over the years.  Last I knew he was down to only a few left.  Most of those he has sold have been essentially brand new in the original ziploc bag.

I bought one of each from (Tsojconth and Fazzlewood) him many years ago and they are sweet!!  If your on the fence about sticking a bid and going for it don't be; Excellent items.  These really are the quality items collectors dream about: Rare, un-used and un-circulated right from one of the organizers of the tournament.

And here I was hoping that this one might not go astronomical in price, since interest seemed low thus far.... ;)

I was outbid on this, but had planned to raise my bid, then got on a phone call and forgot.  While I have no idea what the winner actually bid max, my intended bid would have been higher....grrrrrrr.

I was lucky enough to by Mr. Bartnikowski's original/playtest copy from his daughter Barbara.

Amazingly, I was one of the next highest bidders. I actually thought I had snagged if for a few moments. I just threw my number out with the thought it wouldn't stand up very long and if I was lucky enough that it did, I'd take if for that price.

I'm very surprised it didn't go higher.

Wow, this one was snagged for a $75.00 BIN.  Textbook example of why you don't do a BIN unless you know what you are doing.


** expired/removed eBay auction **


Hopefully someone here snagged it.  Might not be complete, but it looks like there are a lot of sheets there.

He also sold an unsigned one with a $12 BIN.  Same buyer got both.  I almost cried.  Congrats to whoever grabbed them!

I was about to post about those two Artists of TSR sales - couldn't decide if it was a mistake or if maybe the price of twelve prints of art you can see on the internet anytime you want maybe didn't turn out to be worth $1,500 after all.

Oh, they are definitely worth more than what they sold for.  Hopefully whoever picked them up is a collector and will offer at least one of them for resale to the collector's community.  If a reseller, they will make a tidy profit.

I think I got lucky, but not sure if they are complete or in great shape.  I will keep you updated for sure!

Didn't one of these sell for a ton at last year's NTX auction?

They'd sell for a huge price if collectors were aware of the sale. That was the BIN of the year.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.
