We've already passed the anniversary of Gary's forward, as noted here: 50th Anniversary of the “Forward” to D&D – DONJON LANDS

They quote "the foreward is often written last" and then (therefore) the date must be when he typed it. Rather than when it was actually printed.

That'll hold me through the cold nights when GRRM releases The Winds of Winter and history backdates it 10 years because he wrote the foreward then.      

Jan 24th, 2024 is the date by any who are not looking for an excuse to write a blog post I guess

OR: I believe that realistically, Gygax was born understanding what D&D needed to be and therefore the 1938 is the proper starting point for D&D.

Yes, added it yesterday after the owner contacted me.

Foul

I am the guy with the Lost Tamoachan: The Hidden Shrine of Lubaatum #96 and checked it with William Meinhardt and he verified it is complete

Lost Tamoachan most recent sale was on ComicLink and it went for $6,600 as a reference.

Whether most big ticket collectors have a copy or not, which I doubt, it will sell for a very good amount.  I don't think this module is more speculative.  This is a well-known item and they are incredibly rare.  To find one for sale in decent condition, is becoming much more difficult.

To put it in perspective, there have been 35 recorded sales on The Acaeum since 2003.  Here's a plot of the number sold each year.  I've added an additional one for 2023, assuming that this one sells this year.

Based purely on the sales per year, the forecast is for only one , maybe two, to come up for sale per year until 2036, then the number drops below one.

Obviously this can change, based on a number of factors, but it's fair to say that there will likely not be a lot of these coming up for sale, unless and until some of the big-ticket collectors collections are sold off.
