Has even the Gencon collectibles auction had a lineup like this the past decade???

Impressive list.  Looking forward to attending this year!

Any chance you know the condition of the 1st print Woody?  I've recently made the decision to buy one of these, and now I need to locate one.

Hi Guys,
A number of the items, including the 1st Print Woodgrain, are mine.  I will post some photos.  Overall, the Woodgrain is in very good condition.  Most of the items are in excellent condition overall.  Honestly, the 1st Print Monster Manual is in amazing condition and you would be hard pressed to find better.  In addition, the Black Opal Eye is in excellent condition and is signed by Tracy and Laura Hickman.  The Titan games is a mint unpunched game from the collection of Jason McAllister the co-founder of Gorgonstar.  The Panzer Warfare is from the Brian Blume collection.  The R-2 module does have writing on the cover as shown but is otherwise in excellent condition.  The Greyhawk booklet has the initials of the original owner on the cover as shown and some minor writing in pen inside the booklet in about 10 places primarily referring to the errata page "See pg. 68".  Also, the Eye of the Dragon is one of my personal producer copies with provenance from Tracy Hickman to me directly and naming me as one of the producers.  Feel free to message me with more questions or information.

Thanks!

Awesome items. Please keep us posted on what they sell for.

Drink some good Wisconsin beer and enjoy some gaming. Hope to attend next year again.

Hi Allan.  I am not very familiar with the game.  Are the expansions the battleboard cards that come in the game?  I have included a photo of the contents.  The sale includes everything shown plus the box shown previously.  Thanks!

Thanks Scott!---the ones I'm looking for are the ones that Andy picked up relatively recently.
