No, not worth crap.

There is a pretty well-established market for this sort of thing, but maybe more prevalent with colored lithographs cut from books 100+ years old. Keep in mind that "not worth crap" is the reaction I often get from other gamers, who can't figure out why I spend money on musty old RPGs when I could buy the slick new-&-improved products.

Were you the winner, then, Paul? I seem to recall you've been looking for a nice 4th print whitey for some time now.

Let mirth prevail!

No, I passed. My white whale fourth print has to be near mint, and staple rust makes me nervous. The quest continues, sigh. One day, I hope....

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe...we are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

I know of one such, but have made the owner promise to sell it back to me if it comes to selling at all. :twisted:

Gygax letter/note attached to an invoice. Interesting, but pricey:

I was thinking they both go in the $200 range, but $400 is pretty amazing.

Ouch on the price. Looks like the box is pretty banged up and the books have staple rust. Could probably do a lot better for the money asked.
