Your's is in worse shape than mine is and I have had it since 78 don't have a FF flipped through it when it came out and said meh. I still run 1st Ed every great once in a while
Most of my D&D time was in AD&D. I had a TON of stuff, all in prestine condition. I hadn't played in a couple decades though so I sold it all as an eBay package a number of years back. Was shocked what people were willing to pay.
Now that I'm playing again I do regret selling it sometimes...
Oh, the memories, looking at that Fiend Folio, thinking how much those gems must be worth. Bet I coulda bought a +2 longsword with that loot!
Strange, now I have a hankering for Cheetos and Mountain Dew.

Lemme know when you get one that doesn't have the angled banner on the cover - or better yet, that says Advanced Dungeons & Dragons at the top of the cover and Players Handbook lower down, with the original wizard logo, and white flyleaves. ;)

If you had any first prints in your collection, you probably undersold your stuff. Especially if you had the Deities & Demigods that included the Melnibonian mythos.Quote:

Very cool OP, Glad to see people still have their books and play V2.0
Actually there is a store in Texarkana selling a ff pretty cheapQuote:

Things like ferd's white box (or woodgrain box is also a good one), and the ones I mentioned that were recalled after circulation carry the good values.
Buying/selling game collectables was a lot of fun - before Ebay ruined it all. :rolleyes:
That players hand book is beat bro looks like its falling apart at the seams looks like its had a lot of use.
Yup, we bought the books and sets, we played for marathons, and we beat with our dice bag the guy that shoved the table and knocked over the (usually brightly colored and sticky) drinks therein, which soaked the books we bought ...
One of my old books for AD&D spent the last years of my tabletop gaming life happily inside a 3-ring binder due to bindings exploding..
I buy things to use, not to hide :)
edit: Typing before coffee = bad grammar
'74 releases were woodgrain (printings 1-3), whites (printings 4-6) were released in '75+.Quote:

73... 75... Either way, it was a long time ago. More than we really wanna think about. :( :o
The second printing was done in orange, because the local printer only had that color in stock. (too funny)Quote:

*what's really awesome is I actually remember this stuff (surprised I made it through the late 60's & early 70's :eek:)*
No offense, but it did get released in 73. Dubbed the "white box set" it was actually parchment color. I know, I have it. :cool:Quote:

As a DM, I stated that gythianki have strange passion for junk jewelery -- that these "gems" are all glass or at best semi-precious stones. Part of my description of a (sort-of friendly) gythianki: "Tinkling noise accompanies his every motion. Rows of brass ornaments with glass and cheap stones run down his sleeves and pant legs. He must be wearing about 1500 gold pieces in junk jewelery."Quote:

Ditto.Quote:

In effort to suppliment my collection, I hit up eBAY myself. Got a TON of the classic modules!
Tomb Of Horrors
Queen of the Demonweb Pits
Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
White Plume Mountain
Lost Caverns of Tsjocanth
Slavers Series
Now I just need to find a local AD&D group and I'm all set....
:(
Nerd Alert!
I still buy and paint miniatures.
:o
Few weeks ago I told my daughter that I expect some day to be rolling dice on 1st edition tables in a retirement home with my cohorts (I was born in 1966). She thought it was both hilarious and entirely plausible.Quote:
