I'm doing a project and I was wondering if anyone could send me high quality scans of the front covers. I don't need the back or the inside.  As high of dpi count as possible would be cool.  If you could do this, let me know and I'll send you an e-mail address.

Hi dpi images that go wild on the net could be used to reprint and/or clone fake high value items. The BW typesetting is easily re-done from the downloadable PDFs, so the front covers are pretty much the last line of defense against high quality fakes being offered to the market. Given the price of ST1 in EX/NM condition, I'm surprised we've not seen high quality fakes of that item offered yet. Maybe we have and just don't know it.


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

I'll try to be more clear:  I only want a scan of the front of the cover.  I don't want the back of the cover or the insides where the maps usually are.  I just want a high DPI scan of the front of the cover.

+1

To be honest, though, I'd probably pay for a quality R1 or ST1 2nd printing.

Most of us would.
If they reprinted R1-4, RPGA1-4 and ST1 as faxcimiles of the originals, I'd be up for a set or two.

Yes, I too would pay a reasonable price for 2nd prints, or legal scans (PDFs) all those modules that I did not delete above.

Yeah, I could do without an ST1, based on reputation alone.
