** expired/removed eBay auction **

This seller always overrates the condition of his items. This book has creases on the front cover. Creases on the back cover. An inked name on the inside front cover. And then spotting on both inside covers. With the spotting this book is below the VG- threshold to me, making it Good+, which is quite a bit away from the EX/NM it is described as.

This is my favourite edition of this rule set... And the seller didn't mention that this was Tom's personal copy before he gave up on FRP's and went over to SciFi.


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

I try hard to be fair, so I feel that I should add to my prior comment for nuance. I don't think the seller is a bad guy, I've bought things from him, and may well again. A lot of people overrate their stuff and I'm not trying to say it's malicious, it's probably just human nature. When I am cataloguing my stuff I spend WAAAY too much time obsessing over the grade because I want to be accurate in case I run across a potential upgrade out in the wild. But most people do not have probably the time or the insanity that I spend on it.

But back to the book. I have commented on it's being over graded, but I don't think the starting price is that bad (for the condition that it is in). I would have thought it's worth $100 to an American (since they aren't having to pay for overseas shipping). He does have $20 shipping on it, making it $120, but that's not far off from what I would value it at. The guy has got 100% feedback, he must be doing a lot of things right.

I'm surprised no one has brought this one up.

Or keeping it on the down low? :)

Hello all,

Thank you.

Even if this goes against my interest since a unique item is a precious gem for a collector I am compelled to share this title here:

...and remember don't miss it as a fair amount of time will pass till you'll see the next Advanced Dungeons & Drive-ins title!

Yeah, someone got a bunch of nice autographs at Gary Con in 2019.
One odd thing about the listing ... says 232 pages, as if it's an earlier print, but the logo on the front cover means it's a 7th print with 238 pages.

I see the following autographs:

Allen Hammack
Tim Kask
Harold Johnson
Elise Gygax
Jeff Leason
Jim Ward
John Pickens
(Terry?) Kuntz
David R. Megarry (?)
Ernie Gygax (?)

Can't find an eBay specific thread, so this may be an issue that has previously cropped up and been figured out, but eBay.co.uk which holds my eBay account does not allow me to view or find or place bids upon the current traunch of Collectors Trove auctions. I can view them by following the link and changing '.co.uk' to '.com', but I cannot sign in and place bids on '.com' and even if I know the item number, the name, or whatever, and set the search to worldwide, I cannot see any of the auction items outside of the UK.

Maybe this is something where eBay's own internal search facility has not yet had time to update and propogate their search outside of the US yet, or maybe its a setting somewhere where theyse are only listed for viewing by US buyers. Is anyone else seeing them in non-US areas of the world? Has anyone else been able to place a bid who doesn't have a US eBay account?
