Happened across one of the Hobgoblins MP Soundtracks for sale(was like $4 bucks) on ebay autographed by Rick Sloane the other day and figured I'd go for it. These were available at San Diego Comic-Con in 2009 according to the listing and a follow up search on Google further confirmed it. Anywho, it arrived today courtesy of Rick Sloane himself. I logged into ebay/paypal to leave some good feedback and double checked the payment in paypal and it was to none other than Rick Sloane himself. I find this hilarious because NO WHERE in the listing does he even mention he's actually Rick Sloane. I got Sloaned, but in a good way. Saw a few more listed if anyone is brave enough, err, I mean interested. I of course immediately went to hobby lobby and spent $7 dollars on this nifty cd display frame/case. This entire episode just really made my day. large img at: i49.tinypic.com/2uibul4.jpg

I have a feeling he's about to be inundated with orders. . .

Yeah, I noticed he put one up the next day after shipping mine and it went like that so I'm guessing he's prolly got a box of 'em or such left over he puts up every now and then. I got my colossal guide a while back for $4 bucks at a thrift store! It's got six autographs in the front by all the writers so it was definitely my find of the year and made me feel good about my thrifty ways .

Are the ACG's hard to find nowadays or something? I literally read through it once when it first came out and put it away after that so its condition is pretty pristine.

There are a good amount available from various places but few are in the new to like new condition so you'll end up paying rather hefty for a more pristine copy. This is my 3rd copy so I was stoked to get it at next to nothing. My previous two were ruined unfortunately by a leak we had from a nasty ice storm while I was away.

Nice! (Not about the two being ruined, though, that's bad.)

It's a pretty common tale that the binding on the ACEGs falls apart quickly. That's the case with mine.

It's a pretty common tale that the binding on the ACEGs falls apart quickly. That's the case with mine. I got mine around '96 or '97 as part of a Christmas "thank you" schwag pile from a client of mine who knew I was a big MST3K freak. I flipped through it a bit when I first got it, then put it on the shelf. About a year ago, when I began reacquainting myself, I was using it a lot to check out episode synopses to decide which episodes I wanted to download first, and in the course of three or four months' steady use, it eventually developed a binding issue around about the middle of Season 2. Other than that it's pretty much mint. It's still gotten a lot of use for making download/viewing decisions for Seasons 1-6, but I've taken special care not to open it out too wide. I don't know what Best Brains' schwag budget is like these days, but a reissue of the ACEG, including Seasons 7-10, would be really sweet.

They did a version of seasons 7-10 that was released online way back when. Board member Bob3k awesomely and painstakingly reproduced it as a .pdf and posted it here. Enjoy it, won't we?
