I've been working for a collector these past couple weeks, mostly just doing data entry for d&d miniatures so he can sell them on Ebay.
Now, I knew this guy's collection was big. I mean, this guy has SHELVES upon SHELVES of gaming paraphernalia, but I got the grand tour on Friday, and boy... wow.
I held, in my own hands, the first 3.5 D&D Player's Handbook ever printed, the pre-print copy of the 3.0 Player's Handbook and DM's guide, Gary Gigax's copy of the magazine in which he conceived the idea for Dungeons and Dragons, just to name a couple. Turns out the artwork on the walls, which I had just dismissed as random pieces of fantasy art, were original works of several big name RPG industry artists, INCLUDING the original painting of the cover of the last issue of Dragon magazine.
Incredible day. Totally surreal experience.
If this guy is selling off a collection, details on the artwork plz? I'm in the market for a few specific pieces by Tony Diterlizzi (and likely will be for a very long time since he doesn't have records for a lot of stuff sold at conventions as to who bought them, and that's assuming they've not been resold, etc).
E-Bay link as soon as the stuff is for sale please :-)
E-Bay ? Why not right here ?!
How about giving us here at the Paizo boards first crack at it please ?!
:)

Wow, that is truly awesome! Reminds of a couple years ago when I was doing appraisal work on some comics. I ended up having Avengers #1, Fantastic Four #1, Hulk #1, and X-Men #1 in my hands all at the same time. I think the geek in me died and went to heaven that day.
