So, I picked up a copy of Top Secret today, and found the contents to be basically pristine, though it seemed to be missing the RPGA signup sheet, and misc TSR sales literature that I'd expect from a product of that era.  The pink and white d20s are still sealed in their plastic bag.  However, they are inked (and rather poorly at that).  Is this the way they shipped, or do you guys think someone re-inked and re-sealed them?

I think the re-seal is unlikely, as I found it at Goodwill for a paltry $2.99....it also came with the admin screen and Operation: Rapidstrike!   :D

Thanks for your time.

Just checked my first print set (the one not in the shrink) and the dice are inked. So they are original and they came that way. I have some sets of those dice that are not inked, too. Great buy!


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Just out of curiosity, what promo/sales literature was included in the box, if you don't mind me asking?

That also matches my crappy dice that came with the game, Rich.
