Wow! Woodgrain set on ebay.

[oldgeezer]

My heart.

I still have my FIRST PRINTING woodgrain set.

Personalized by Dave Arneson so far, and I'll be getting Gary and Rob's personalizations too.

So, with a certificate of authenticity, and given that I was one of Gary's prepublication players, how much do you think I could get?

Mike, I'd say it would fetch $4000, at least. If you'd like to chat about that live, or about other interesting tidbits you've got, I'd be happy to do so sometime

That's it Mike, rub it in. Just kidding, btw any chance of you listing all the differences between it and a 5th printing. I never owned a copy of the 1st printing, although we had a copy that we used until it completely wore out and then we bought a later printing.

For 6th vs. 5th vs. 4th, see Trent's post on K&K @ www.knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2906

It's not a first printing (actually it's the sixth) but there's a 'buy it now' on ebay for everything from Chainmail through Swords and Spells. Auction #170173929746, in case anybody's interested. And has $310 to spare...

There's also a 1st printing woodgrain with a $4800 BIN up at the moment: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180191139982

Too rich for our blood ; I'll just stick with my PDF's

Unfortunately my wife would take a very dim view of that purchase, I think I could get agreement for my group to play every day for a month long before I could get approval of that purchase.
