Does anyone happen to know a fair market value for an original copy of Metamorphosis Alpha?  The original TSR game from 1976-77 (?), not the current 4th edition.

I would like to find a copy, mainly for sentimental reasons, and if I do happen upon one on eBay, I'd like to have a feel for its worth.

Thanks,
Keith

Keith, try this thread, it should give you a start on the valuation:

They can go for anywhere from $30-80, depending on condition, printing, availability (how many are on Ebay or have been up recently), and number of interested bidders.

Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for.  It's selling for more than I would've guessed, but still worth it for me.  

The first game I ran as a DM was a combination of MA and D&D, which will be 30 years ago this year, if I remember correctly.
