That was exactly my point, and I was wondering about the provenance of Freelancer's copy. One possibility: I am certainly not a major collector, yet over the years I have twice gotten two copies of a limited run with the same number, in both cases directly from the publisher, though neither was from Grant. With that history, it wouldn't shock me to find a duplicate had been generated. In both instances I had ordered two copies, and requested a specific number for one of the two - it still shouldn't have happened, but I can see how the it might. However, given Grant's requirement of owning a number to guarantee the next in the series, it seems any duplications would have become obvious quickly, though I've never heard any rumors of duplicates. On the other hand, obviously I didn't make use of DT II #307 in this manner, so it wouldn't have been caught for this specific book.öhm ... short question - so we got two guys here with the same book ?
A more disturbing possibility is that Freelancer went hunting for DT II #307 for a premium, and someone modified a different copy.
I'm hopeful that the answer is much more benign, and Freelancer hit a wrong key - from the original list, #306 seems a likely candidate.
hope you are right, and he did not buy a "full set" maybe well wrapped in foil and did not check the numbers.
But if he doesn't tell us we will not know.
From my POV a doublicate number from Grand would be quite a story - so i am very interested in this
maybe Freelancer will tell us
one last thought that came
creating a #307 out of a fe. #30 to make a set a "complete" set and then sell it would be a crazy new shit way of "forgeing"
I don't say that this is that case or stuff! , but i never thought of that option ...
Oh I do. You don't? I could not imagine having my set missing those 2 books.....Many of us do not count TLSOE or TWTTK as part of a complete set.

I agree on that one...Oh I do. You don't? I could not imagine having my set missing those 2 books.....Many of us do not count TLSOE or TWTTK as part of a complete set.
"This looks like a complete S/L set to me"
Those with #801 & above may not feel that way.
Spoiler:
they are not going to do ;D
but i would be in for sure.
At the moment the two are separated from the set, as they are just to big... annoying.
DT matched numbers - nine books
Apologies to everyone. My book number series is 370, not 307 as posted.
I was so sure of the number - till now - I didn't give it s second look.
I'm old...

I may have posted previously but I have #180 of TWTTK, so it can't be complete. At this point in time, I'd most likely sell/trade to whoever has the rest of the 180 series, though I would eventually like to collect the #180s myself once I could pay for them.
I wonder how many are destroyed by families who didn't realize what they were?

Congrats, Tim! I bet that plain old inscribed Gunslinger 1st is looking pretty boring compared to this!
Thanks guys, not sure how long I'll own it but, hey, claim ownership while it is in my possession right!? May get it on the shelf and find that the set looks too damn good to get rid of it!
Still partial to my complete #415 set with the remarqued 'Slinger but I am sure they will get along with each other....
