Hey everyone,

Did I miss the post from The Collector's Trove that the next set of Gygax items were up for auction?

eBay listings

Or did Paul want to keep this on the down low?

Best regards,

Ronald

Hey Blackmoor,

Do have any info about the TSR Mail Order Hobby Shop catalogs?

How many pages were they? What was inside of them? Just a typed out list? Or pictures?

I thought the TSR Annual Report might be interesting (but that's probably the Accountant in me...

)

Best regards,
Ronald

Hey everyone,

Noble Knight has a Warriors of Mars up for sale:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TSR-Miniature-R ... 0636408161

I know they don't come up that often.

Not sure if the price is right for it.

Best regards,

Ronald

Noble Knight usually prices their items a little higher than average.

So this seems a little lower than what I would expect it to be at.

I wonder though what 'multiple copies' means. At least one of most of those modules has already been sold with authentication. Are there, for example, 2 or 3 or 20 copies of B9 in his collection? How many BioOne's? I wonder.

True, but prices for WoM have come down a tad (for the most part) over the last few years. And it is a stock photo....although I expect NKG to grade much closer to the truth than T&T. Why they would use a stock photo at all is beyond my comprehension. :scratch:

If its in as good a condition as noted, probably a safe bet and a good pickup for someone looking for one.

Stock Photos on these really scare me away. I am working through some item condition issues with NK on a package that just arrived.

Don't know what is worse, the incompetence of T&T or the arrogance and entitlement of NKG, best to avoid both unless buying in person.

Should be a decent buy at that price vs. those others recently - which I didn't think were /that/ much lower ($300-400 for a nice copy), still?

Probably better than the "TSR Basic D&D Dungeons & Dragons - Original White Box (5th Printing) NM" just sold for $100 BIN;
** expired/removed eBay auction **
... without a box (but with staple rust and a few annotations).

p.s./aside: Did you get the Jorune 1e, Brette? I bet that didn't last long...

For some items, there are many copies. In some cases, Gary was given a case of items as a freebie from TSR. I know for a fact he was selling SW copies of Star Frontiers, Boot Hill and Top Secret Modules in the 90s cause I bought several copies of each. He sold a case (a dozen copies, I believe) of the Divine Right game at auction at the same time (Frank Mentzer won these). If you are bidding on these in the hope of owning THE copy of Bio One or B9 owned by EGG, you are going to have a huge let down in the next few years.

Hey faro,

Yeah I saw that too and was really surprised when someone actually bought that. I am guessing they didn't read through the description carefully.

Best regards,

Ronald

Hey Mark,

Thank you very much.
It was exactly what I was looking for.
