Yes.  I didn't make it to the Legends of Wargaming room while they were up but I heard it was most impressive.

Can't say what the auction results were, but great catch muaddib5!  It was fun to game with you and your sons!  Gary Con was a great time.

I'm sorry to have missed you, Scott!---it would have been great to say hi in person.

Sorry I missed you too.  I think we should do a forum post for next year and maybe have a meet-up for all the Acaeum members that will be in attendance.

Howdy,

Yes, there were 26 of them! About half were signed by the TSR staff artists represented plus Darlene and Greg Bell. The Elmore went for $500, as did the Dragon Magazine number 1 paired with the banner for freelance artists showing the cover art for that issue. There were a few that went for over $200, several for over $100, and the rest which did better than $50 each.

Here is the complete list, whether autographed, and art depicted:

"Early Artists" - Eldritch Wizardry
Greg Bell (autographed) - Lizard Man Logo
Dave Sutherland III - Holmes Basic Cover
Tom Wham (autographed) - Awful Green Things (actually Jeff Dee's art homage to Tom)
Dave Trampier - DM Screen
Erol Otus - Moldvay Basic Box Cover
Jeff Dee (autographed) - X1 Isle of Dread Cover
Bill Willingham (autographed) - S2 White Plume Mountain Back Cover Blackrazor
Darlene (autographed) - Dragon Magazine #37 Jasmine
Diesel (autographed) - Ishtar fro Deities & Demigods
Steve Sullivan (autographed) - AD&D Monster Card Satyr (with Willingham)
Harry Quinn - X3 Curse of Xanathon Cover Art
Elrohir - Divine Right Box Cover
Jim Roslof - D&D Character Record Sheets
Laura Roslof - AD&D Monster Card Satyr
Roger Raupp - Greyhawk Wars Box Cover Art
Larry Elmore (autographed) - Mentzer Basic Set Box Cover
Keith Parkinson - T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil Cover
Tim Truman - M1 Blizzard Pass Cover Art
Jim Holloway - B4 The Lost City Cover Art
Jeff Easley (autographed) - Unearthed Arcana Cover Art
Clyde Caldwell - DL1 Dragons of Despair
Jeff Butler (autographed) - Spellfire Card Tarrasque
Valerie Valusek - WGR1 Rary the Traitor
"Freelancers" - Dragon Magazine #1 Cover Art

The banners were donated by Legends of Wargaming from the Artists of TSR display this year which turned out better than I could have hoped. Thanks to Diesel, Jeff Leason, Darlene, Stephen D. Sullivan, Laura Roslof, and Shawn and Devon Hibbs! Darlene and Steve Sullivan did the digital graphic work on the artists' signatures - and man did they look great!

I have been trying to find a total for them but everyone is crashed at GC HQ. I have heard that they went for over $5k to raise money for Jim Ward's medical expenses. We also ran two charity games at 330 Center St. that raised over $3k from which a portion will go to Jim Ward, Doug Rhea, and a Chicago family that just adopted 6 children that lost their mother and father. These efforts are part of our GO GAMING! charity program.

Here is an image of the banners, I'll have the photos of the art display up in a day or two.

Paul,

Here are the photos I took at GaryCon IX this year. Legends of Wargaming exhibit photos were taken on day two. You are welcome to use any photos of your art show and games room at GaryCon for editorial purposes, and to use them to promote Collectors Trove, and Legends of Wargaming, and GaryCon royalty free, indefinitely. If I would have known, I would have photographed the entire collection, and if I return, I will remember to, early in the show. Ditto on this to Frank, I'd be much obliged if you would forward these links to Turbo or Caroline, GaryCon has permission to use any of my photos for any purpose they care to.
