Too long You should watch the whole thing, interviews with all the surviving original artists....BUT...you can start from 1:10 for the discussion of art returns, lost art, tossed art, and where the Trampier Handbook cover was discovered and almost lost.

Popular Post nightbells Posted February 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2022 $5 in my totally rad squeeze coin purse. At a book fair in school, I purchased 2 books. For timing reference, there are Smurfette stamps on the inner covers! This was one of my favorite pages: At a convention several years ago, a former TSR artist and employee had that original piece. And I had a ... moment. The artist stated "My wife feels I should sell you the art. You seem really taken by it." So several decades after purchasing the book, at a convention in Lake Geneva celebrating the life and works of Gary Gygax, I became the curator of this original piece by Harry Quinn! comix4fun, Bronty, sckao and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christosgage Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Some TSR art has survived. There's a store in Canada (The Beguiling, maybe?) that displays the original cover painting to DEITIES AND DEMIGODS. And a prominent OA collectors has the original cover to the first Monster Manual.

I have made exactly 0% progress in my goal to obtain it (aside from knowing where it is)...in fact I've likely lost a lot of ground towards that goal. christosgage, delekkerste and Randall Dowling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember not being prepared for what it went for. Just looked it up to refresh my memory $15,000 in 2013. With scant top shelf material hitting the auction block at the time making a good prediction was difficult. It's a great piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
