it is a sub-page you linked referred to the foreign editions!

Doesn't seem to cover the inch difference though - I've only seen the inch-question on eBay though - it might just have been someone who wanted to know if it would fit a hole in his/her bookcase :-)

Anyone have any experience with this seller?

Lower left corner is blunted or really rubbed (OK, I can maybe see that, still in shrink, maybe if the wrap split and peeled there ...), but the binding looks creased?

I never had a problem with him, but I haven't purchased anything from him in over a year.

Maybe at $700, but $850 seems a bit much for a stained Tsojconth...imo.

Seller is going to post more pictures tomorrow. The shrink looks torn so it doesn't strike me as a re-wrap, but you never know. Just due to the apparent wear, though, $175 seems like a lot of coin.

That seller: gaming_fool ... is not hard to work with.

We recently completed a trade, involving a lot of value each direction.

And he will probably work with folks on pricing for some items.
Would not hurt to ask.

I think his prices are generally high, but I have dealt with him in the past and had no problems.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Was this the only one released like that ? Or also the dungeon master and monster manual ?

I believe it was only the PHB.

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Does this look like an originally shrinkwrapped module? I'm not sure when the last print run of TOEE finished, but this doesn't look like the traditional H-seam, but maybe that was reserved for regular sized modules.

Looks pretts scuffed around the corners and the spine to be classed as mint. You could class it as damaged in a shrinkwrap, but there's no way I'd pay that sort of money for something that ambiguous. There's even obvious evidence of it being read up the front of the spine. Anyone with a decent copy of ToEE and a shrinkwrap machine could create those. But thene, there are idiots borne every minute and some muppet will part with their cash, probably someone who couldn't tell the difference anyways.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

+1

Thanks. Btw, do all TSR boxsets from the 80's have the H-seam at the back? There is a Conan set that I'm looking at and want to make sure it's the real deal.
