I'd bet the 2nd print will go somewhere between $100 and $125.  Maybe I'm not giving enough value to its condition, but (IMHO) there isn't anything especially collectible about the 2nd print (unless of course you're a print run completionist).

As far as a 1st print in this condition, I'd estimate substantially more.  Maybe between $250 and $300 ...or you could get a couple of deep-pocketed collectors going at it which nowadays may push its value past the GDP of Belgium.

Given the radical price increase on any collectible product, it's always fun to speculate on this stuff.  I think this auction will probably end in the $100-$125 range.  Given the scarcity of the rares in this day regarding collecting I'm glad I limited myself to certain things I wanted to buy.  It's funny because some products I bought years ago I thought I paid too high.  Nowadays, it seems like I got a bargain.  This collecting hobby isn't getting cheaper.  I'm just glad I got what I wanted when I did.

Edit, to answer the first print question, I think close to $200. Maybe more if other collectors are searching for this like I was years ago.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Interesting how the seller states complete and intact and then mentions that some center pages have detached.

I thought the same. Seems it may be quite a ragged copy based the cover, the lack of interior pics and the BIN.

OK, Im saying $160.

This was my "Fun Find" of the year for 2015.  A prominent on-line rpg business listed a copy described accurately as a first print (56 pages), but not really accurately as in 'poor' condition - for $25.  No picture, but I figured I would take a chance.   I figured, even if it's a mess, it would be fun to own.  I was very pleasantly surprised  A bit of wear to the cover, somewhat typical for the textured paper.  No marks inside, solid staples, just a bit of fluff along the spine & the previous owner's name.  A nice solid copy.

Actually got bit of a thrill when I opened it to see the previous owner had signed his name - at a first glance I mistook it at first for a very famous rpg author.  Glenn Staffield, lol.

Curses, missed it by just the amount of shipping.

This would mean that the "$100-$125" camp wins this one .  I'd like start off thanking my wife and kids - they are my inspiration, my eight grade math teacher who taught me the mysterious range of 100-125, and of course we can't forget Foulfoot - for without him, there wouldn't be a platform to shine .

Yep! I was way off. I just liked it too much.

I'm going to stick with my $100-125 range .  Let it ride!
