Heres an interesting one - the 3.5 Players Handbook, stamped in gold on the front "Gencon 2003".

This is rare in the UK - but how much is it worth generally?

And anyone know how many were produced please?

Cheers,

Odd.

I've asked the UK WOTC crew, and they don't THINK it was one of theirs (tho they were splashing the cash that year, the guy I spoke to reckons they were promoting magic, not 3.5).

So my guess it a US Gencon. Anyone?

Cheers,

I don't imagine it would be worth a lot, but there are few d20-era items that are, or have the potential to be -- if it was a limited to WotC-only (ie, only staff received them) then it might be worth a bit more, but if it was open to the general public, it is likely not worth much more than cover price -- I'd place it around $50 - 60, myself.

I, of course, could be completely wrong.

Hi,

well,  I dont expect it to be worth a fortune... but its a bit odd that there isnt a lot of info about it.

Thanks anyways.

Cheers,
Karen
