TSR Employee Tiffany Paperweight

I worked at TSR in Lake Geneva years ago. While there, there was an anniversary celebration in which we all received Tiffany lead crystal paperweights with the TSR logo.

Can anyone tell me if there is a market for this, and what the possible value might be? I have the original Tiffany box as well.

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

A couple of these have changed hands over the past few years. Vermillionfire here had one up for sale earlier this year but I don't remember the sale price.
If I had to guess, I would think you could get at least $200 for it. I think the Vermillionfire's original asking price was $300 but it didn't sell so he put it on Ebay.

Mars is right. $200-$300 is a good range for value at the moment.

Just in case you're interested, TSR staff material can do very, very well. Character Sheet Pads, pre-publication material, and original art do very well on ebay and other places, fetching thousands of dollars. Even interoffice memos can have a value. The TSR chess set went for $1200, I think.

Actually I ended up selling it off-eBay to an Acaeum member for $700. I sold my TSR chess set (autographed by Gygax) in an Acaeum auction for $1700.
I'm interested to see what the paperweight will go for in an eBay open auction; I have a feeling the BIN will be hit fast...

Didn't last long! Sold to a buyer in England last night!

Wow. that was a good buy.

I think the estimate was reasonable. I saw these sell years back for $75-$100. It is best to put up these collectibles without the Buy it Now feature to see where it lands in open market.
