Question is... What do you do then?  8O


I think we all know the answer to that - you expand the definition of "collection" by one year, publisher, product line, etc. and set up a whole new batch of ebay saved searches!

Already been thinking about working through the collection for condition upgrades.   :roll:

Actually, not sure.  Maybe gain the 10+ hours per week back in internet searching, using that time to instead... uh, to ... hmm.  not sure yet.   :D

Maybe start putting money away for retirement!

For my next collection (because who would I be kidding if I said that I was officially "done" now :)), I'm going to be looking for something cheap, small, but tough to find ... that should keep the beast at bay ;).

Over the last 9 months I have completed quite a few series of games or sub-collections of larger sets. Mostly been trying to complete the smaller game series that do not have too many books in them.  Just for some examples, here are a few.

FGU - PSI World
WEG - Paranoia 1st Edition
TSR - Conan

Well I have finally completed my G modules collection :)

My goal is to have one of each printing and having one of the set in shrink per module code

For these Giant modules I did not open my shrink Silver anniversary set to get pics of the 5th prints, but I still have them :)

Didn't they do any "Tall-Boy" G-Series module printings?

Fantastic! If I could pick one Parkinson to own, it'd be that one. Post pictures of that Aussie set when you find them!

No, the "tall boy" printings were the 1st printings of modules from a couple of years later.

Great items Jeff, topped off with an a Parkinson crown jewel.

Awesome!  That's got to be one of the top "Completes" we've seen.

The GDQ1-7 painting is the pièce de résistance!

Horrible photo, but my Danish basic/expert collection is complete! Okay, only four items so it's not a huge deal, but it still took me forever to find them all.
