They don't sell for much even in shrink. As I recall these were part of the great walden books AD&D cardboard tower display piece and they were heavily produced. A guy was selling them in bundles with some novels, monster compendiums, splat books etc... mostly as a lot and had these in stock for years and years.

They range from $10-35 in shrink. Almost useless buying a used one. I had 60+ in shrink, down to 1 left. It seems a lot of people don't really check sold listings and if the price "feels" right for their budget they just jump on it hence the odd range it can sell for.

Also, I troll Amazon all the time LOL, most of the prices suck but occasionally you stumble across really excellent finds. Got my Planescape Sketchbook off Amazon for $150. I couldn't hit buy it now fast enough. It's not perfect but good enough for me.

I got a first edition, first print Chainmail on Amazon in 2013 for $90 :)

Flipped it for $1250 on eBay to a esteemed Acaeum member.  I was a long time collector & player but brand new to the resell landscape and this purchase/sale fueled an awesome part time hobby business that has provided a great income stream- all from that initial $90 purchase.

I would love to still have it but I think it was worth selling :)

Thanks Amazon!
