For what it's worth, The writing is very similar and consistent with the TSR editorial copies that I have (I have quite a few of them). Provenance would help. I think the asking price is way too high without it.

Exactly right.

Even with proven provenance for this set, I think the price is still way over the top. I would think that a top end for this set would be half of what the starting price is.

eBay listings

Holy smokes!

It is me, or did a bunch of those monos sell a bit high? I was trying for a few of them, but the bidding got crazy! Check out the finals on some of those! Is there something I am unaware of? Did prices on those jump radically recently?

S2 - White Plume Mountain (mono) - $36

D3 - Vault of the Drow (mono) - $36

T1 - Village of Hommlet (mono) - $32 (with 1/4" split at top of cover)

I guess some of the others seem a bit more reasonable, now that I look through the list, but those above sold high for some reason or another. Go figure.

The first pic is a stock photo I think, which he doesnt mention. On further photos you can see where the cover is rubbed white where the red has come off, but it doesnt appear so on that first pic.

T&T might pay that for it in that condition, but I would be a little surprised if a collector would. Still, who knows?

Maybe I sold myself short :wink:

I was surprised that it wasn't snapped up. How many of the various printings of the white box were ever produced?

ian...umm nah

the only folk who will have this is me as DM. the six guys who played - all of the copies here (7) were signed by all involved (myself, addermcone, frank mentzer, badmike, kingofpain, blackmoor and prufrock) and one final copy (unsigned), will be getting sent to stratochamp. this is because he was meant to play, but due to time constraints, couldnt and we all felt it was the right thing to do.

other than that, no more copies. its not a collectible anyway, its just a game the guys played and a copy of said game.

i will be doing a report though. have started it, but am still too tired

Al

Al has given me permission to run his game at some point in a tournament setting. And I think Al can be persuaded to run it again at some future con. So some lucky individuals may get a chance someday to also participate in the Return game, which is really the way to experience it.
