Hello, all!

I've been reading the Acaeum for quite a while now, having been pointed to it by another collector.

I have to admit, I'm more of a completist than a true collector.  I don't go (far) out of my way for better condition.  The only box set I have is an OCE (hangs head in shame).  I do however, have nearly all of the readily-available stuff in my D&D/AD&D collection--including nearly ALL products not on the "rares" page.  

I also own a game store, and I was about to prepare a "beginning your collection" type article for my next e-mail.  What do you guys recommend as easily-obtainable starting places?

Thanks, Ralf.  That article's not exactly what I want, but it's worth a few notes.  For one thing, as a retailer, I don't want to encourage people to go hunt eBay for items they could be buying in my store.  

BTW, ever been to Der Spieleladen in Hannover?

Welcome to the forum Lloyd   :)

Welcome to the boards Lloyd!
As Ralf said I`m from Hannover and I`ve been a regular in that shop and spent a lot of money there. Sadly they had to close last year.   Why do you ask?

Dirk was a friend of mine.  We met through e-mail after he read something I wrote for Dragon, hooked up at GenCon a couple of times.  He's a great guy.  I was very sad to hear he had to close his store.
