Midkemia or Chaosium version?

Eh, probably doesnt matter. I would think between 20 to 30 bucks maximum.

Not sure how the current market stands but generally I would think the Midkemia version would be in the $40-$45 range and the later Chaosium in the $15-$20. The Chaosium versions are fairly easy to find.

Normally I would agree with you. The last Midkemia Tulan sold that I saw was a few months ago and I believe sold for less than $30 (hopefully I am not confusing it with Cities). Only two up on Ebay right now, one for $29.99 and the other for a ludicrous $183, and the former was relisted when it didnt sell for $33.49. Probably has more to do with the "blemish" on the cover than anything. But we've all seen things sell for lots more that looked much worse.

I hear ya King. It all depends on what you mean by "Current Value" though. Selling price from an open auction starting at 1 cent or BIN store price. I am a frugal buyer and have bought all of my Midkemia stuff for below this but have also bought extras and upgraded and sold the spares for around these prices.

Tulan does seem a bit short stocked at the moment - Noble Knight doesn't have any copies for sale.

As for the copy of Tulan that is currently listed for $29.99 (BIN) the one that has the "blemish".
That looks like a burn to me (Cigarette perhaps).
The "blemish" is in the middle of the front cover that goes into the book at least to the following page.
