That's the reason I almost bought it. Was it complete? Doesn't that one have game pieces? Just curious for future reference.

dragonsbreath wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:I am not sure about that- I do have a boxed version from TSR that is near complete (1 chit missing), but it has larger, oversize manual.  The one I sold I had purchased in a lot and it did not come with game pieces or a box (though it very well could have originally). I always assumed that the Box set I had was a later version, but never did the research to confirm.

The first printing is just the booklet with the GK logo.  The second printing is just the booklet with the lizard man logo.  The third printing is the box set

Thanks for the info

This one looks amazing.  If the "curved" one was worth over $400 (if I remember correctly), why is no one in on this at $325?

Another first print.  But in a little worse condition!

In my opinion, if a book was perfect otherwise, but was "curved", I would grade that book as Good. Since almost everything has some other issues, it probably should have been Fair. What is it worth? Well all of our mileage varies, but I'd say $100.

Now the book above is much better than that. The outside looks very nice, but without pictures of what the highlighting and pencil marks are like it's a bit of a gamble isn't it? What would I say that gamble is worth? Maybe $200. Whoops, he wants $325. Oh well.

I would think that anyone that would want a 1st print MM in collectable grade would always be looking for one "better" than this (since it has highlighting et al). Why would one overpay so for a placeholder copy?

On top of my opinions about quality vs. cost issues, the guy cut and pasted info straight from the Acaeum without any credit or thanks.

k***o went for the KO, then k***o got KO'd!

That's around what I would value those books still in the shrink, not opened and loose. Wow. Sometimes you make out good with auctions, sometimes not so much.

Given some high sale prices recently, looking like a pretty decent run condition-wise if the chipping on #6 and name inside front cover are the only "faults";
