Thanks for posting that. That is right at my price comfort level and I will enjoy looking over most of the rest before eventually loting them up for the ebay store!

And the really nice thing about it is that it has no "wrighting" inside.

I know, I know. This isn't that special, but were these ever sold individually or was this a re-shrink job? I don't remember seeing them sold outside of the set.

There's a 1st print DMG in this lot. It looks like a little sticker residue or something in the top right corner

There is also an early printing Men & Magic booklet in that lot(1st-3rd print). A bit beat up, but should help with the auction total.

For some reason I think they were sold individually, but I'm not 100% positive.

The page here says they were sold separately: http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/setpages/basic.html (1st paragraph under Printing Information)

I was just thinking that was just the blue Holmes book that was sold separately.

I wonder, is it listed on one of those distributor purchase forms someone had up on Ebay recently?

I'm not sure which it was, but the book was sold separately at some point. I could find out when it was placed in the TSR product list and when maybe removed from it to know but I'm not on my computer now so will check later in the week.

Looks like someone just drove up Pip's bid. I wonder how high this thing's going?

You think it's going to stop at $125?

Nah... higher...
