muaddib5 wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:What is the provenance of the book (if you don't mind saying)?
dbartman wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:That typically does increase the value. In this case, Jim will provide a letter of authenticity, which usually adds to the sale price as well.If it's the original author's copy, or if it has been signed by the author(s), that's an even bigger premium.

Thunderdave wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:My pleasant Scott Bizar / Barsoom memory:When I was a kid my local fgs was Waterloo Hobbies in Stony Brook. I want to say it was Scott’s family that ran it (could be wrong) and he frequently worked the counter (1982-ish?). They had a an excellent fantasy fiction section, shelves and shelves!, and when I happened across Burroughs, Scott recommended the series, suggested I read books 1-3 in order, and that set me off on a lifetime love of Barsoom, fantasy, sci-fi, rpgs and gaming. I’d probably only read Tolkien and had a basic set at that point when I started visiting Waterloo, by high school I was elbows deep in the rpg hobby and Waterloo & Scott were a big part. Super nice guy, always had time to chat with little old me, and I had no idea he was an author/game publisher. I’ve since collected just about everything FGU and have tons and tons of game books from his store. Happy memories . I hope he’s doing well.
