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. They're selling these books for $650 each.

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.

I'm still going through the mega-thread, and I don't know if it's been mentioned there or not...but these books are in the glass case in this picture.


Just got them in, huh?

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.
Beautiful? There's misspellings and lack of apostrophes on the cover, plus they're clearly not originals or put out by the actual companies. And since all we can see are the covers, we have no idea what the quality of the insides is like. They're not worth much of anything, now or in forty years. I doubt they'd even be worth a spot in a real gaming museum as an example of that time in gaming history when a bunch of frauds made fraudulent claims.

There's misspellings and lack of apostrophes on the cover,
While the misspellings are inexcusable, the missing apostrophes in the titles are accurate. The titles of the 1st Edition Handbooks were "Players Handbook" and "Dungeon Masters Guide" and not "Player's Handbook" and "Dungeon Master's Guide". Even the official 2012 WotC premium reprints of the 1st Edition books honored TSR's original apostropheless titles.
