Do you own a rare or hard to come by item?

[twistedmic]

Do you own anything (comic book, dvd, figure, poster etc.) that can be described as rare or hard to come by? If so, what are they? For example, one of my uncles had done some work on the set of the late nineties movie 'Virus' and he gave me a few things from the set, those being a blueprint/plan/ conceptualization of the main bad guy, a t-shirt given to the crew and a polaroid picture of an alien/ monster body. Both the poster and the t-shirt were signed by the director , John Burro,and one of the actors ,Marshall Bell, at a later date(they were at a Trek-expo).

I have a giant cardboard cut-out of Gears of War 2 when it was being sold at Gamestop.

One of my teachers had a friend who worked there, and she gave it to me.

Well, this isn't really a gaming or movie thing, but I own a tribal stick passed down through the healers of this tribe in Papua New Guinea. It was given to my grand-uncle who was a missionary, when he saved the tribal chief from Malaria, which the healers couldn't cure him of. They figured that he was better then they ever could be, so he deserved the stick. He gave it to me when he died.

It's about 2500 years old. I keep it in my room. I must take a picture of it actually.


Now, this might sound like spiritual crap, but there definitely is a certain aura off it. Maybe it's just me.

Very Interesting! to say the least!

To answer this topic, i'd add, that my father have spearheads, rings, and bracelets from a small abandoned village that appeared, and then was swallowed by the sands of the Sahara...

and some other numismatic coins (i'm a coin collector XD)
i've got a big silver coin with the effigy of Louis XVI among others...

I have something sort of like that. It's a Navajo painting on sandstone. It's not old or anything (1-2 years, maybe?), but it is authentic.
