The description has an interesting quote as well, which may be worthy of following-up with the seller Original owner, smoke free environment. I only wished now I had gotten Gary to sign this set when we used to talk back during the gaming conventions at the Horticultural Hall in Lake Geneva. But at the time, who knew?

PaulyDragon wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:In first glance this appeared to be a simple black and white printout of the 1980 TSR catalog, but then the insides are in full color. Is this a fake, as I strongly suspect, or is it a legit error?

It has a black cover and seems to have shown up in some version of the Basic set. I have only ever seen 2 or 3 auctions with this."

dbartman wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:There are many clues that indicate these are authentic, especially if you have seen an original. The paper texture, coloration, the ink fading in specific spots, the one bag, and the apparent aging of paper. In addition, the letter provides some provenance to the authenticity.These are not that easy to duplicate, but it's always a good idea to have some provenance from the seller to back up the items authenticity, or an experienced collector's assessment before jumping in feet first.
stratochamp wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:I'm curious Mark, when you write "seen" do you mean seen in person, owned, seen listed on sites, some combination thereof? I've owned two (and have one, because I have no desire to keep doubles of things), but I have probably seen another few over the years, usually quite battered.
