TSR NuTSR Sells Rebound 1E Core Rulebooks For $650 Each

Despite being embroiled in ongoing legal disputes with WotC regarding use of the TSR trademark (amongst other things), NuTSR has posted images of leather-bound compilations of AD&D 1E books they say are rebindings of old material, complete with the disputed logo.

The Deities & Demigods book (middle top in the image) has a typo on the front cover.

About these books, NuTSR says "Look what just came in. Sorry, we didn't have these in for TSR CON. (in the beginning, WotC said similar to what people below are saying. We said they are rebound of old material. Long story short, WotC said ok no problem, we have it in writing)"

As rebindings, these would be existing books simply being resold. However, the covers with the disputed logo are new.

In early March WotC launched a lawsuit -- (PDF attachment of filing) -- naming TSR, TSR CEO Justin LaNasa personally, and the Dungeon Hobby Shop museum. WotC seeks a judgement that TSR hand over all domains, take down all websites, pay treble damages and costs, hand over all stock and proceeds related to the trademarks, and more.

The amount of bandwidth this forum dedicates to TSR is quite stunning. I wouldn't be surprised if numerous sales came from people not reading the posts and just googling how they can buy these beautifully bound books. I'm tempted to get a few myself, I bet they will sell for a fortune in 40 years.
Yeah. You do that. Then post a photo of them in your possession.
 


Given their own version of the trademarked logo is part of the litigation, it's not smart of them to sell any product with it on it, as that will be considered as part of the damages due.
Pretty much everything they’ve done hasn’t been very smart. So this is very much “on brand” for them.

I think you can save money by just taking 650 dollar bills and setting them on fire.

At least you wont have to pay tax for stuff that will never arrive.

You again? I'm sensing a pattern with your posts...

As far as the books go, I find compilations like this actually less useful than the single books themselves. A huge heavy book is difficult to open and manage at the table. Their sole value is honestly just to look good on a coffee table.
