The Collector's Trove is running another series of auctions, some items from former TSR employees (Darlene, Ernie Gygax, the Roslofs and many others). Lots of TSR ephemera of the era. A Holmes Basic promo poster is up to $300! (This item seems to be from from the Trove's private collection rather than one of the TSR employees)

If you haven't already, these are definitely worth checking out. Paul Stormberg, the auctioneer, is a great guy to work with. He's also provided a real service to the community by gathering some of these hard to find items, as well as a great service to a lot of gaming's Great Old Ones, some of whom have hit hard times over the years and needed the income from selling some of their old ephemera to make ends meet.
ReplyDeleteI've never bought anything from his auctions, but I often grab screenshots of TSR ephemera. There's a bunch in this lot that I've never seen before.
ReplyDeleteI've purchased a few items from Paul in the past (original Darlene illustration, a few rare magazines and rule books) and never had a problem with his service. His postage charges are a little high, but otherwise he's top-notch.
ReplyDeleteAll that is a 'lot' above my paygrade.
ReplyDeleteEnded at $502.97......!
ReplyDeleteWas tempted, but just a little too rich for my blood at this point..
