[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 165740, member: 6763"]Just Carl: There have been quite a few early Red Books available on Ebay recently, including both printings of the 1st edition. Some early editions have been in very superior condition and went for big dollars, including a near mint 1st edition that sold for $1,100.
