Vermillionfire posted some interesting auctions including this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180207745198

The poster for Alma Matter that was banned. Anyone know the story as to who banned the poster and where? If I recall, the game is made by a Canadian company called Oracle.

I think it was disallowed at a convention. I used to know this one because one seller had a whole mess of them with the story to boot! I can't remember any more than that.

I believe that the seller was reversemotion (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZreversemotion) at one stage he had heaps of em, I believe that they were shrinked with the poster as well. He sold a huge chunk years ago for "health reasons" saying he was leaving ebay, but I see that he is still selling (he is actually listing stuff right now!). I belive that he was selling his last stock off at $50 a pop (but then again my memory might not be 100%)

From memory it was banned from Gencon, have a look at Schicks I think he has a note about it in Heroic Worlds...

Brette:)

The copy of Alma Matter that I picked up (from a different source) came with a couple of posters in a brown envelope stamped by Oracle Games.

202 $, 1 day to go.

shocked


And the buyer turns out to be a big deadbeat. That really blows for the burntwire brothers if they didn't/don't get paid, but then chromatic knight will get another chance.

That's too bad. He's bid on several of my auctions but didn't win anything.

I am doubting that we will get paid.

Why do people have to do these things?
Shame on you
One thing for sure is that I will try and find out who this person is and post it on the Acaeum(he did have some positive feedback). Chances are I will re-list everything next Sunday.

He's actually bid on a lot of things over the past few weeks. Some big bids too. He's probably cost some of the big bidders a lot of extra $$$.

He's been NARU-ed by eBay so he's done. I guess he got carried away with his bidding and then realized he didn't have the cash to pay for all of it. Mad

Confused collector needs help:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320209817373&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=011

I've never seen a white box top .5K, and it looks to go higher, even with the rusted staples.

It's a 4th: they've been rising steadily in price (like the woodies...).

Thanks Allan! I don't follow the mysteries of the white box. I've just assumed that there are a dozen or so incarnations and left it at that. Wink

Speaking of surprises,

SRs are readily available, so it must the CA. Incredible!!

The obvious question, is the orange sticker TSR's or a home job?
