I am really curious to know how many known copies exist.

Each of the Beholder compilations can't be any "rarer" than R7-- on my modified Sheldon scale (i.e. "estimated number in existence 4-12, but with a very good chance of more turning up"). R6 (13-30 copies) or R6- would probably more sensibly "cautious", to be honest, given the popularity and longevity of The Beholder, frequency of association, and resultant likelihood of "sleeping" copies out there that haven't been binned.

Was it another Ashire Mark had for sale? I think so, IIRC, but I do recall that the next bidder was a long way back on Amanda's.

He has run out of that one.  Since then, I haven't seen a copy for sale.

Good to know. As soon as I  something, I stop to take care of price.

I don't remember who was the second bidder on this one. Aia? :) Most of time, he is.

I have modern reprint copies of Murder in Ashire and the other Fantasy Unlimited items:

Tome of Treasures :: View Forum - Fantasy Unlimited

I have the go ahead to reprint these but haven't figure out what the best format would be - everything in one big book?

I have a Kingdom of Dolg but missing the other two Dreamworlds supplements.  The pic reminds me I need to hunt down a Droids and Victorian Adventure.  What are the two items in the first column at the top?  I think I am missing about 7 of all of these.

I asked to the editor to send me the pdf and I am still waiting the pdf of the article. Sorry for the delay.
I have my copy of the complete mag but it is too big to be emailed and I cannot extract only some pages from the pdf.

In the first column, the two on top are Monster Guide (Adventures Guild, 1983) and The Lair of the Scarlet Elite (Gas Spore Publication, 1982).

About Dreamwolds, who won the run of Flames of Albion? Brette?

Too bad that Amanda does not have more rare stuff :(

Pretty good going, Mark, and good to know I'll have competition on the next VA, too! Could've sworn I had a copy back in the day but it hasn't surfaced recently, if so - possibly in the "unaccounted for" box that I know should have various early UK zines; TAS, etc.?

Hmm... anyone for a "post 10 (12/20?) non-unique 'RPG'-related items" thread to have fun seeing how many other people have - or are missing - of those? *jk*

Well spotted in the midst of all the recent keyword spamming. I'd presumed so: second here, as usual. :)

+1 :)


Indeed; but that was quite some collection her relative had amassed. Kudos to them for being on the ball back in the day.

Looks like I was on holidays that week in January..

Looks like Bill won that one (according to the feedback)

I tend not to bid on something I already have..

Brette:)

Ah... still working on "not really collecting fanzines" then, Bill? ;)
(Nicely inferred, Brette! I thought you might still have been missing /some/ of those...).

Next you'll be telling us you bought Thomas Canty's presumably-not-for-sale Dragon cover art (Diesel LaForce's private collection, apparently?) that I spotted in the recently-posted Con pics? I hadn't realised that had survived, so that was good to see. :)

That rings a bell from a long time back. Thanks for the link. Pretty... :)
The "Sphere of Doom" artwork (1977, whatever *g*)  tallies nicely with the long-standing presumption of "cut and paste" for the cover.

Hey, you've never accidentally gone "over complete"? You're doing rather better than myself, if so.
Oops, once again, on that score; sorting through the 'zines today...
