By Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. All 1st Printing except Spells which is 5th Printing. Published by TSR - Tactical Studies Rules, copyright 1974 - 1976. They are all in from Very Fine+ to Near Mint condition except Spells which is in Fine+ condition. They come from the smoke-free environment of my personal collection.

Bold print added for emphasis.

Time to educate the seller.

My E-mail to the dork:

These are not first prints!  Please educate yourself!  Somebody actually purchasing these items from you could charge you (and should) for fraud.  These are common 6th prints worth about $30-$40.

The last time I was at one of the Dallas comicons I went by their booth.  They were selling a very hot comic for $100.  I told the guy running their booth that I was interested in it but that $100 was pretty steep.  He told me that I didnt know what I was talking about and that I wouldnt find it for any cheaper.  I left the booth and then came back about 30 minutes later carrying the exact same comic book that I had mentioned earlier and told him that I paid $30 for it.  He just walked off mumbling...

         King is right. They are tools.  They are the type of Comic book shop that pulls hot comics off the shelf and adds $5 to the price while the comic is still available elsewhere for cover price....but since you don't want to drive to another shop you pay the extra $5 (well, I wouldn't but I guess that's the strategy). They absolutely have no customer service unless tht includes screwing over said customer whenever possible.
         I'm sure the owner is clueless about what he has and has done no research. A few years ago they were selling most of their backstock older D&D and RPG stuff just to get rid of it and I got like five copies of WGR6 City of Skulls SW for about $5 each.  Meanwhile, he had $150 on his one copy of Deities & Demigods with Cthulhu (behind the counter, of course), which looked like a tractor had ran it over a couple of times.

Here is his responce:

I try hard to get the provenances on my games right. I will admit to not trying very hard on this one. I will change the price on this lot in a few minutes. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, sir. Jeremy - Titan Comics

Very polite man actually

Since Marcus and Tonya both post here, I assume Jeremy is the new guy they hired. Off to a bad start, it seems.
Generally speaking, while Titan does have some nice items, I avoid purchases there due to the exorbitant handleme charges.

He wants the +4 to hit.

On the other hand here is another seller AD&D DUNGEONS & DRAGONS WHITE BOX EDITION 1974 and he is also listing these as 1st prints when they are obvious 6th prints. If I had the time and money to sue someone for fraud I would buy them just so I could.
