Thanks for sharing, Bill!—as always it’s a pleasure to see that your museum of RPG wonders continues to grow and enrich the community! :)

I totally missed this one, if it was a public sale! As you may or may not be aware, we have a team of folks working to preserve and print Lenard’s unpublished modules and essays; some copies were released just before GaryCon last year: https://www.annabmeyer.com/lakofka-archive/

If you can please share some details about the towns, I’ll check to see if this is one of the many unpublished manuscripts we have copies of or not!

So here we have a 5th whitey, a 1st geos set 1, a 1st outdoor geos, a greyhawk 3rd+ and a 1977 char sheet... was that a bargain or was a fair price?

I haven't been tracking box sets recently but I thought that looks a fair price. The staple rust and spotting on the books might have brought it down a little but OK.

Personally, I was miffed I missed this (which I was watching but literally in a work Zoom meeting and forgot about!)

and I hummed and haa-ed about this - as I thought he discounted it fairly - but in the end it looked like the binding was a bit too loose. Maybe I ought to have bid?

This was interesting since I believe it is the most unfrequent artwork of St.Regis line of products...

That is definitely one of the rarer ones. I had the hardest time finding this one:
