Am I wrong to think this lot is too high? I know the early issues are quite rare but are they this rare? I just sold issues #10 and #11 for $5 each.

#10 usually goes for way more than $5 unfortunately. #11-14 are relatively common.

That collection has been listed for some time and has a few condition issues. The presence/absence of the additional pieces in the early issues is important, too.
The last bundle of a similar size (#1-3,6,8,10-14) with some condition issues was specially listed on eBay for the buyer at $550; the "value" in those being heavily front-loaded once again, of course.

Seeing this in the classifieds via a quick glance on my iPhone, it looked like a Guidon 1st or 2nd ;)

Those "sealed" modules don't look like original shrink to me. Take a close look. Or are they in another bag? I don't think so......

Buyer beware without further pictures!!

They only look to be in comic/magazine bags not in shrink. I asked the seller to post additional pictures outside the bags if that is what they are in.

The text is a bit confusing on whether they are said to be sealed in original shrink. I also would like to see a photo of the back of these modules.

Additional picture of the backside of AC5 is posted. May be near mint but that doesn't look like original shrink to me.

I see he mentions that the shrink is not tight. I also see mention several things that make it seem these might be in re-shrink such as the comment on a hot air dryer and a mark under the wrap. Does he at any point say that these are in ORIGINAL shrink?

No, it is never stated to be ORIGINAL shrink, but that is besides the point. If you list an item as "SEALED" to me that inherently implies sealed by the manufacturer not sealed in random plastic. In any event seller is nice and willing to offer any additional information one seeks. Plus it is implied they are old stock from the description. All around somewhat misleading.

The price of these has really skyrocketed as of late.  I don't think they are worth $650 sealed or not sealed, original shrink or not.  They are character sheets!  They'll never be used like a boxed set or adventure.  Oi.  I'd rather spend $650 on usable (enjoyable) items.

That being said, I hope to still get one someday.  Just not for that price...
