Since grubbiv isnt pimping any of his stuff I guess I'll have to do this one. Probably one of the nicest looking Empire of the Petal Throne box sets I have ever seen:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Empire-of-the-Petal ... dZViewItem

The description says fine condition though. I dont see any problems with it.

Nice copy of Tricolor as well:

I think that makes it a first print since the back of the box is blank.

Sorry, please tell me where to look at the listing description.
I did not see where the seller indicated anything about the box bottom.

I took this out of the original shrink wrap myself about 2 years ago so I could thumb through it. Then I ate a plate of caviar and lit a cigarette with a $100 bill.

The bottom of the box is blank, and the flyer that was on the bottom is still there.

The box has been opened a couple of times. Since I've had it, it's been stored on a shelf in a stack of boxes. I did not give it a Very Fine condition because of some buckling, and some small, unexplained brownish discoloration which was there when it was shrinked.

Dammit, the pic for that and the Geos must not have loaded.

Thanks, I'll fix that right now.

$299

Which should be good enough for any collector

The current high bidder.

I bet that $299 is going to look like a sweet deal to the final high bidder. Actually the bin for #2 & #3 should probably get them snatched up.
