Someone is going to be disappointed when they get this package:


** expired/removed eBay auction **

Getting into the domain of silly... Nice clean copy, but I'd've thought the non-trivial (and conveniently pointed-out) scuff might've held the price back. Evidently not.

 TACTICAL STUDIES RULES -TSR "WARRIORS OF MARS"  1974

	$679.05   * sold *   (25 bids)
	ended     Sun Feb 22nd  4:30pm EDT
	Seller:  666atlaw

Their other early TSR items made for interesting reading the way they turned out, but I still liked that EGG-signed rebind job most (the $69 p&p killed that one for me :)).

For some reason this seller's items go above and beyond when it comes to prices. At least it seems that way to me. He has sold a lot of nice items

That one actually looked really interesting to me.  Then I saw the price.  Now it sold... maybe I should dig out my crates of similar...

My copy of Vol 1 does have them shrinked, but each set of four minibooks were all shrinked together to their tray insert, and the shrink was really tight. I've attached a photo of the trays in Vol 1. I did not buy it new myself, but don't have any reason to believe that they've been re-shrinked. I do have Vol 2 still in shrink, but am not intending on opening it.

I bought these new and never saw them in SW in the box sets, or sold separately.

Yes, that mini box set is ridiculously priced.

I looked at the ID history of that seller:

was this the "David Randall" guy from way back?

I hate to say it but if I would have known about this auction I am sure I would have bid at least $250 on these little plastic critters...good thing there is not a thread for the silliest buyer of the year :)
