The same light reading - an update

Just a very quick update concerning Dice Men - the coffee table book that any gamer of a certain age should be buying.

I have previously stated that I am in on this and it looks like we might be on the home stretch - 92% funded and still going strong. I actually think that I like this method of funding better than Kickstarter and its cohorts, it sort of feels a bit more serious and professional.


I have also boosted my own purchase to include the facsimile copy of Owl and Weasel number 1, which brings me to this fine fellow:--

Now even though this little item is SIX HUNDRED QUID a part of me thinks that it wouldn't be a bad investment. Clearly the price of many gaming items, particualry vintage ones has been rising steadily for a couple of years and this chap will surely one day be one of the most sought after items - and the releasing of the Dice Men book will only widen the group  of people who will want this.
If I had the disposable income and a (very) understanding spouse I would be inclined to buy this and squirrel it away for a few years and double my money.
(As a little aside, the seller is an absolute legend so there is no risk whatsoever if you decide to buy this)

TTFN - review of WD40, and a bit of discussion about my collecting habits to follow soonish.

  1. Hi Carl - I've been scouring the internet trying to find info on the elusive Owl and Weasel publications, having recently come into possession of issues 6-25 following the loss of a relative - If you yourself might be interested in adding these to your collection, or if you may know of a group of collectors who could be interested, I'd be very interested to share more.

    All the best, Eugene
