So yesterday I was at a library I go to once a month to play D&D and there was a big box of old 70s & 80s D&D books that were donated to the library by someone, but because the library is about to undergo a major renovation they told everyone to get rid of extra donations. Thus, we could basically take whatever we wanted. I snagged some AD&D and original D&D supplements, and a couple old issues of Dragon Magazine. But what really caught my eye was an original D&D 3-volume box set. The printing date was 1974. It contained all three volumes, plus the rules & reference sheet. It also contained several supplement books: Blackmoor, Grey Hawk, Underworld & Wilderness, Men & Magic, Monsters & Treasure, Eldritch Wizardry and Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes.
I've played a lot of D&D in my day, but I'm definitely someone who came late to the party. The earliest version I've played is 3.5 and I did have a DM use a couple old AD&D books as supplements before, but they were both hardback and from the 80s.
I'm not planning on selling it, as I think it's cool. But I am curious to know what it's worth and how rare it is. Anyone know?
