The Collector's Trove TSR Alumni Auctions (To Date)

As many of you might be aware, I auctioned a huge portion of my mss., art, game material many years ago.  Those auctions were conducted by Paul Stormberg of the Collector's Trove.  Here's the link to his page; and what follows is his grouped summary description of my auctioned items, with the original picture and notes of my Bottle City adventure (later to be published by PPP with great editing work by Allan Grohe).  There is a lot of information on Paul's page worthy of noting if you are at all interested in the history of that era.

"Robert J. Kuntz (4 auctions, 375 items sold to date):

Rob Kuntz is one of the original players of Dungeons & Dragons and helped to shape the design of that game through clever play and eventually writing and designing. Rob served as co-DM with Gary Gygax in the famous Greyhawk Castle campaign in the early to late 1970's. His character Robilar a number of near-mythological feats in the Greyhawk campaign, many of which are the subject of everyday conversation of gamers all over the world. Highlight's of Rob's many contributions to game and RPG design and writing included: King & Things (a Charles Roberts award winner), WG5 Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure, The Maze of Zayene, Garden of the Plantmaster, Sir Robilar's City of Brass, WG8 The fate of Istus, Dark Druids, Dark Chateau, CAS1 Cairn of the Skeleton King, CAS2 Tower of Blood, The Bottle City, Lake Geneva Castle Campaign: The Living Room, and more! His collection for auction was simply fantastic. It contained nearly everything imaginable, from the earliest relics of the pre-D&D days, to artwork, to manuscripts, to letters and contracts, to fiction mss., to original El Raja Key and Castle Greyhawk dungeon levels, and many more items that are too numerous to list here. In total the Robert J. Kuntz auctions reached nearly $33,000! The auctions garnered so much attention from collectors and fans that they received mention in SCRYE magazine (No. 86, pg. 10). The highlight of these auctions was the Bottle City level of Greyhawk Castle by Rob Kuntz. This 17" x 22" map and eight pages of level notes sold for $3,650!"

I make specific mention of this because Black Blade Publishing and I are seriously examining ways of getting the scans of these and other items onto a DVD and even making some matter available in print.  I have my take on it and so does Allan, who is in control of the project on the BB end.  Sooner or later we will asking the fans, by way of sampling the descriptions of the content, just what they feel is of weighted interest.
