Here’s a quick rundown:

Glitter Boy Miniature – yep, a super-rare, out of production Glitter Boy miniature. It’s in the wrong blister pack, because it was part of a test run sent to Palladium by the miniature manufacturer. That means it is one of the first to come out of production and has superior detail and quality. Considered a “master” miniature. The blister card is signed by Kevin Siembieda.

Kevin Siembieda’s Personal copy of Beyond the Supernatural™ RPG, 1st Printing, 1st Edition Rules (1988). This somewhat battered, marked up and tagged copy of Beyond the Supernatural™ is a first printing, but more importantly, it was was co-author and publisher, Kevin Siembieda’s personal copy used in the many BTS games he ran over the years. Does that make this a priceless artifact or worthless junk? You decide. But we sense psychic G.M. and game designer energy emanating from it. Signed by Kevin and the Palladium Staff.

Palladium Fantasy RPG® “Crimson” #34 (1998). Only 500 copies were printed. It has became a coveted collectible that we are told sells for as much as $600. Signed & numbered by Kevin Siembieda and artist Scott Johnson, as well as the Palladium Staff. Includes a Kevin Siembieda dragon-head drawing. Note: Numbers under 100 were made available only to Palladium staff, creators, friends, investors and for special promotion. To get a number below 100 is super-rare. To get one as low as #34 of 500 is incredible.

Rifts® Gold Edition Hardcover #34 (1994). This is the original Rifts® Gold published by Palladium Books in 1994 as a limited edition hardcover collector’s item – only 500 copies were printed. Signed & numbered by Kevin Siembieda and artist Kevin Long, as well as the Palladium Staff. Note: Numbers under 100 were made available only to Palladium staff, creators, friends, investors and for special promotion. To get a number below 100 is super-rare. To get one as low as #34 of 500 copies is incredible.

Rifts® RPG “Proofreader copy” from 1990 (signed). That’s right, you get the 20 year old, original proofreader copy of Rifts®. PLUS a copy of the original Rifts® RPG (First edition rules; 14th Printing) and a set of eight photocopies of Kevin Long pencil drawings never before seen by the public. All items (including each of the 8 photocopies) are signed by Kevin Siembieda.

Rifts® Manhunter RPG (1994), published by Myrmidon Press under lisence in 1994. Only 10,000 copies were printed. It has since become a rare and coveted collectible. Excellent to mint condition. Signed by Kevin Siembieda.

Amber Con Logo T-Shirt – Size Large. This “out of print” grey Amber Con T-shirt was given to Palladium Books by Erick Wujcik. Size large.

Amber Diceless RPG - Preview Photocopy. Erick Wujcik and Kevin Siembieda were best friends, so when Erick was finished with the Amber Diceless Role-Playing Game he gave Kevin a photocopy to review and comment on. This is that photocopy. Signed by Erick Wujcik and Kevin Siembieda.
