| | Wow ! What I would not give to get my hands on those...I only started collecting when some GoL/Abberations/Deathknell/Angelfire were in the market, so can someone tell me who that knight holding a flaming sword is ? My guess was Lord Soth, but I have seen the GoL boosters and that is not the same color. | |

Don't quote me on this, but I thin I remember seeing on the boards here that the designers said when asked about doing more Vintage Tourneys at GenCon and Winterfantasy that the ywould lov eto but can't support it with older product. That it was getting harder and harder to come by.
I will try and look to see if I can find the exact thread it was posted on. So it sounds like they are running out at the warehouse. | |

| I would think that they are still holding on to some, but Ian did say that if they do another Vintage it may not have Harbinger in it. I'm thinking they may have used up a good portion of what they had left for this event, and I was proud to be a part of it... even after only pulling a Vadania and Red Wizard.
The next one if we are lucky will be Archfiends and GoL. Just my humble call. | |

If my failing memory can be trusted I believe Kiddoc pulled Drizzt.
My rare pulls were Cleric of Corellon and Orc Champ for Swiss followed by Ogre and Dire Boar for the top 8 Draft.
The 8 rares in my draft pod for top 8 were Shambling Mound x2, DCol x2, Dire Boar, Ogre and Minotaur x2. An Umber Hulk and Human Blackguard came out in the other pod, but I am not sure what else.

| | Hmmm, so how much do we think we got there? I'm thinking about $2200-2500 for all of those boosters unopened. Odds are they have some of the somewhere in a warehouse still I wouldn't be surprised if they keep a pallet of each set in storage. | |

| Well, street value (back in the day) for four cases would be $640.00. Nowadays, that almost covers the RARES from HAR. Almost.
It's disgusting really. Conspicuous consumerism at it's worst. It's vile and degrading to the human spirit.
No, I'm not jealous. Why would you think that? [:p]

| Yeah.. that massive pile was a sight to see.
Personally, I pulled an owlbear in my harbinger booster and a Champion of Eilistraee (CoE) in my archfiends booster. Taking my CoE and matching her up with a dread guard, orc raider, orc warrior, orc spearfighter, and ember worked out rather well and I was 5-0 going into the top 8. There I drafted a Drow Cleric of Lolth, a minotaur, and a dire boar. Dropping out the boar and replacing it with a number of smaller figs, I won my first two rounds and lost the final to Jason (bascially by a single final initiative roll). His umber hulk was just too much for me. Ahh well.. I still got 4 unopened boosters to drool over and resist openening. | |

| Just perusing ebay I noticed that the value of that table is:
Approximately $3100 for the Harbinger cases
Approximately $1200 for the Archfiends cases
That's of course assuming you could find four cases (only 16 boosters of Harbinger available--it'd be close on the Archfiends).
Boy am I glad I picked up my case o' Archfiends for a song a couple of months ago [:D]
