Sadly I don't have access to FB.
Is it just a set run of TS! 1-12, or does the seller have anything else from Beast Entz?

Here's the auction description:

A rare opportunity to acquire ALL TWELVE ISSUES ever published of TORTURED SOULS magazine, plus extras, from the collection of the original publisher.
Issue 1 (October/November 1983) through to Issue 12 (December 1986).
Tortured Souls was a highly-regarded British RPG magazine professionally published (but in relatively small numbers) by Beast Enterprises in the mid-80s, largely focused on AD&D (with the odd bit of RuneQuest and some other RPGs). Each issue contained at least one adventure set in their own campaign  world. The scenarios were very well-written, with some unique  monsters and house rules.
We have recently acquired all the stock remaining from one of the owners of Beast Enterprises. These magazines have come straight from the publisher and have never been sold at retail (so in one sense, they're "new" but in another sense they're almost 40 years old). They same people produced the AD&D scenarios in the 'Complete Dungeon Master' series. Check out my other auctions for those, which we have also acquired.
Condition of Issue 1 we would classify as "Very Good"; the other eleven issues are all generally "Near Mint".
We will also include printer's proofs of the covers for issues one, three and ten _and_ a Beast Enterprises t-shirt (white cotton, size: Large).

The auction is currently at $540 and ends on Friday 5th May @ 9pm Eastern

Thanks for that.

That sounds pretty cool.
Shame there’s no unpublished works.
Wonder if Golden Spire is in there?
The printers proofs wouldn’t sway me, and the cost is already pretty high for a run IMO (although I’d assume you could be damn sure they all include their pullouts.)
So for me the only ‘bonus’ (assuming no Golden Spire) is the t’shirt. It should s pretty cool. Did they post a photo?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Nice.
The seller is The Shop in the Borderlands then (or at least the photo is) which is a really well established reseller in the UK. I don't know if they have a physical storefront, but I've bought from their website many times over the years. I've never found them to be over priced too much on their website, so I'll probably go take a look to see what they have listed on their site. A great reseller in my experience.

...any comment on the identification of this 1st beta?


It's not worth it?


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

I already asked about Golden Spires (none), CD#5 manuscripts (none), and CD#2 (none).

Thanks Doug.  For those with no account.  Currently sitting at $6,000  Ends Wednesday at 2pm CST.

This module has been creeping up steadily and won't surprise me in the least if it breaches 10k in the future.  

Edit: the module was picked up at an estate sale or bought as part of a larger collection because of a death.   I need to work on instructions on how to handle the collection if something happens.  I really don't want my stuff being picked over at an estate sale.

It's not complete, it only has 18 sheets. I never understand why anyone would buy an incomplete item, especially not for a grand.

Yeah, but these days people seem to be willing to spend $1000+ on a Happy Meal that’s missing its toy…

I don't believe there are a lot of the character pads out there that are complete Bill.  Missing several sheets (7, I believe) is a lot less egregious than the AC5's, with only 4 sheets remaining, being sold for $500 .   :(    A grand is expensive, 100% agree.  I don't think it will move at this price point.

My comment was not to critique you SKA, but meant as a general commentary. I suppose I see a pad of character sheets in the same light as a module; it's either complete or it isn't. Other may feel differently. I could see buying an incomplete pad, but only for a fraction of the cost. I would not recommend buying an AC5 with 4 sheets in it for $500...
