Over the last year I've lost over a half dozen auctions for First Fantasy Campaign on eBay, unwilling to go over $55. But in these depressed times, I won a copy for $30. It is a first printing, and in excellent condition save that the middle pages are loose.
I'm very happy, not only for the content I just acquired which is of great interest to me, but also because First Fantasy Campaign is the last major Judges Guild product that I wanted to acquire.

Cool! Years ago,when FFC was a new product, I held one in my hands at a hobby shop in San Antonio TX. I didn't buy it and have come to regret that decision. I'm glad you've managed to acquire one for your very own.

Check And if you send it to me I will happily autograpgh it for you. Dave Arneson "Dark Lord of Game Design!" Now that's an offer I can't refuse!

Congrats on your find! Other than the OD&D brown books themselves, the FFC book is the greatest gaming inspiration in my library!

Mine, too. And mine is already signed (and personalized!), so it's even more treasured.
Plus, I just found it back after moving, which fills me with a deep sense of peace.
Congratulations, Kenmeister!

Yep! They sound like first printings. It has my own crude art work in them?
