Bow down to the ultimate in geekdom!

Many will roll their eyes at these. Some will drool (I am not responsible for damages done to keyboards, mice, and other items as a result of the drooling) while others will bow down in awe.

Good god how old are they?

You really must be a D&D fanatic.

35 years old and yes, I am a fanatic.

It's the very first edition - I think 4th printing. I'd love to get a 1st printing in the wood grain box but they usually go over $5K.

The books are in surprisingly good condition.

I think your set (the 3 volume one) goes for around $280 at booksellers.....

I didn't pay anywhere near that, not even 1/3 that.

The box isn't in the greatest condition - taped corners but it's the books that are important.

These guys have a few - the same printing I got with some writing in it is $750.

But - I didn't get this to sell.

Edit: No, wait, this is the "original collector's edition" - so it is the 6th printing.
