I think the draft of wg4 was 4grand.

Len Lakofka's unpublished manuscript of a Gods of Greyhawk article came in at just under 2k. I was heartbroken.

I thought they'd have gone much higher.

I thought they'd have gone much higher.

Honestly I think it was too much all at once and the time to bid was too short.

I hope a lot of those items end up somewhere outside of personal collections. I was doubly interested to see the 3rd edition playtest document, both to see the early version of 3rd edition from 1999 as well as to see Gary's notes. It went for $2,750.00, well beyond the budget for my curiosity.

Hinest to goodness hope that wither historians are buying these, or that the buyers digitize and share with historians.

I believe this is the correct description, though I may be mistaking him for another popular character:

Interesting face.
Very lithe. Very graceful.
Very lean, but muscular.
Spectacular.
He's sexual, athletic, and without a trace of self-consciousness.
His buttocks are sublime.
His pectorals could use a little work.
