Dang, that's a 1st print MM, wasn't it? I don't like them beat up like that either, but someone got a score.

Yeah, I gave it a quick look, then passed just as quickly. I had a very used 1st PHB and DMG pass through my hands a while back that I obtained from a lifelong gamer's stash. And when I say very used, I mean that I felt obligated to wash my hands every time I touched them. Yuk!  PDT_Armataz_01_07

I almost want to change the title because its too sarcastic. I actually like price tags. Kay-Bee, AAFES, B Dalton - those are great.

Totally... Wizards Corner, Sentry Box, Sir Games-a-lot.  Vintage price tags are cool :)


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Speaking of receipts, I recently opened my originally bought (way back in ‘89) Golden Axe user manual and found my Electronics Boutique receipt for the game and a receipt from Taco Bell in my local mall on the same day.  I was 11 years old.  Good times :).

Kind of a similar thing, when I sold one of my Comics a few years ago I was checking out condition on the book. Pretty much immaculate looking, but it was the Store Copy and even though we (the employees) are expert comic handlers. Someone had set the book down on some Pizza Grease which had embedded into the back cover. Obviously that has to be considered a major flaw but you can't get any more authentic than that.

Printed names or signatures and price stickers don't really bother me.  I'm actually looking for stuff with the orange Toys R' Us price stickers!

I will post photos once they arrive. Hopefully sometime this week, but I'm not holding my breath.

They add to the provenance of the item, and should be left on....


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