This Copy:

Fine –
1982, 10th Printing – Box: Base is pretty much pristine with some foxing/discolouration to the bottom, edging where it has been placed/stored. Lid has evidence of roughing around the edges, a small sticker removal on the basic set yellow banner to the top left and a small piece of damage to the bust of the female adventurer to the mid-right of the artwork, this is a small tear and is seen on both sides of the box lid. Structurally the box is in great shape and holds well, is not overly indented or bowing. Crayon pack: unopened, as created, the plastic bag is quite discoloured with age, or perhaps the crayon shedding. Books: The Keep on the Borderlands appears untouched, apart from what appears to be an ink stain (faint) in a vertical line from the top edge, through the final “d” of borderlands, 10cm or about 1/3 onto the artwork, roughly 0.2 mm in thickness. No other marks observed. Rulebook has some roughing to the edges, the top right corner of pages B46 to B64 (the end) are dog-eared a little. I can’t see any annotations on any materials. Staple condition is great on both books, only very minor rusting apparant to the exterior of the rulebook.
