I managed to find one old one (I'm a great believer in recycling packaging) but the label isn't specific. Its a 3"x1" white label with a pink stripe along the top from USPS - was $7.33 for a single module wrapped in cardboard. Hope that helps.

Hey, if not, I've got these in the imagine binders (with GM1-5 filling the last binder) that I can dig out for $650 : )

if kynan REALLY had the full imagine run, including imagine #0, then it would be worth $650....

The advertising dummy for #1 is uncommon but not /that/ rare: I've seen about half a dozen of those over the years; several of which went cheaply (under $20).
#31 is rarer IMO, as noted before.

The auction is for 30 issues, so I don't think the #0 issue is included. There is aa additionnal special issue too, isn't it?

Yep. Gets a few dollars more when spotted, that one.

I think $150 is definitively too expensive for that condition, seller probably knows well as there is an option "make an offer". I would not pay more than $90 for it. I got one in the same condition but no coffee stain on sleeve for less than $100 a few months ago.

on this side of the pond we rarely see issue 0 (i have one, malc brought one to gencon last year) but we do see issue 31. that certainly is the major way that ebay has changed the face of collecting: the myriad obscurities to us in the usa that are much more common and still kicking around gamestores in the uk. i'm quite sure i missed some bargains by avoiding ebay until 6 years ago; conversely i got lots of unique items at gencon over the years so i'll take the trade-off.

That is just a 1-30 run, no special edition, nothing. Or am I missing something?? Thats worth £50 or $75 surely as a maximum!!!

Hell, it's a bargain now that the lot has been relisted at $500... LOL. Seriously, I'd be willing to pay maybe $100.

You'd probably find a seller with an offer at that price. It might only cost you that much if you waited and shopped around to get each issue individually.

$100 would be top end, IMHO.. $500 is just damn stupid. Or if anyone buys it, they are... :roll:

Close, but they are not DM rewards. They are the new D&D Encounters modules. Unlike last season, with one module (Halaster's Apprentice) spanning the entire Encounters season, this season they are breaking it up into 3 modules. Three times the secondary market? Dunno. Anyway, just clearing things up a smidge. Still love ya Frank.
