So, I have a local game store that looks like they are going out of business soon. They have around 10 original TSR bookshelves...the ones with TSR screen printed or whatever on the back of the shelves and the kick plates. I seem to remember them also having some sort of half circle topper maybe? But these don't have them. Is this ringing a bell with anyone else? I thought we had some sales of these original shelves somewhere but my search skills are failing me. Any pictures / prices / recollection, or is it just me?

Thanks.

There aren't book shelves, but similar:

 TSR~SPINNER DISPLAY~ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS~WIZARDS OF THE COAST~1998
 
$5,754.38  (fixed price)       Buy It Now
 
Seller:  sbriell_fbperfectcards
 

Looks like a couple of them sold, but it's been ahwile and it also looks like the BIN price has changed, over time, so it's difficult to figure out what they exactly sold for at the time.

Yes!! These exactly!! Did they have a topper or is that just how they came?

Great picture, the ones I know of aren't all in that sharp a condition but those are what I am talking about. Great picture. Still trying to nail down a fair market value on them.

Frank, $2000 for all 10? Or each? Just making sure.

Thanks everybody. Respond / PM if interested.

I'm afraid I don't own any or know very much about them.

Just happened to be able to Google up a good picture.

I built a lot of those back in the day. They came flat packed with the assortment that TSR sold through distributors.

I don’t know where you are or if you need all ten but I have been wanting to find one of these for a while. I gave mine away back in 1993 when I moved to Baltimore.
