I dont want to this to be too negative, but what are some thoughts on a thread where we can post listings we think are suspect? Keep in mind, you can call me a hypersensitive dummy for some of my posts. So, thats fun.

Ill start. Wasn't the earliest shrink loose and crinkly. This looks more 1980-B2-first-print than 1978 wavy and loose.


** expired/removed eBay auction **


I know some folks dont like shrink anyway, but I am a sucker for ones that just look and feel 100% ligit.

Who's buying this beat-up module anyway?

In time, finding nice condition copies of modules may not be an option. It is a first print.

It is in a protective sleeve which is nice.  Too many people think that because it's in shrink you don't have to protect it.   About 6 months under 50lbs of books should straighten it out.  Shrink from back then is weird where some instances you'll see it all loose and crinkly almost bubble like and then some tighter than a drum.  One other observation... In this day and age it is unacceptable not to take good pictures.  Hell a toaster can take good pictures now.  Why no snaps of the back of the module?  I agree Tszii old modules are getting much harder to find in exceptional condition.  Seller has a nice Top Secret module in shrink up as well.

SOLD!  I didn't think it was going to last long.   :D
