New Record - Original Dungeons and Dragons Set - Woodgrain Box - First Printing - Sells for Over $22k on eBay


Let me just say this...

HOLY SHIT!

My understanding is the old record was at or around $10k $5,378 for an OD&D Woodgrain Box 1st Printing. (Acaeum used for pricing history) This is simply amazing.

Personally, I'd prefer to use the money for a new car, but if you have the spare cash? Good for you.

So, who wants to but my OCE for $1k? ;)

  1. I thought the old record was around $6k... which was the price this was getting close to when the geek media picked up the story. Which of course pushed a LOT of new bidders into the mix.

  2. That is disgusting. Whose entertainment budget is $22,100?

      Lots of people. About one in 1,000. But this looks more like collectibles speculation (think art or Beanie Babies, depending on which way it goes).

  4. Still doesn't hold a candle to Action Comics #1, which fetched $3 million for a high-quality copy. It is a niche hobby with niche millionaires looking in now and then. :)

  5. You'd have thought they would have offered free shipping. Still, not a bad price for a first eBay sale :-)
