The price had gone up to $500 at one point, but seems to have dropped quite a bit since then. The fact that the dental dam in the gimmicked cards has dried up may affect the price.

Marvo:

Mr. England also has been producing sets of cards for GTTH, selling them both privately and on ebay. I seem to recall the cards alone were selling for somewhere between $200 to $250 last time I checked. I was able to acquire a new copy of the second edition of GTTH for around $75 a few years ago.

Good luck!

Smurf:
Thanks for the correction--that's an amazing deal (and less than what I paid!)

Thanks all

I had hoped it may be worth more. I may keep it after all.

When I purchased the book many years ago it came with both the original cards and Bicycles .

BTW, it's not my auction, but if anyone needs a copy of the 2nd edition, there's one up on ebay right now (7/25/12)--currently at a very low price
