The price made it up to $20 CDN before the auctioneer opened the book and said, “Hey, it’s autographed by Gary Gygax, GenCon XIII” (or whatever Roman number they were up to at that point), at which point every hand up in the auction room zipped down so fast the auctioneer couldn’t see who last had a hand up.

He had to back-track the bidding, begging people who he *knew* had had their hand up at $19, $18, $17 to put their hands back up. I finally got it at $15.
