Rare stuff you own

[Canadamus Prime]

I've got a bunch of coins that I'm sure are quite rare. I've got them in an old Foster's can and they're a ***** to get out so I can't tell you what they are. I've also got a set of Star Trek Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yes, you read that right. I don't know how rare they are, but they're still in their original packaging.

Fuck all that I can think of. If someone were to go through all of my crap they might find something of decent value, but as far as I know none of it is worth very much.

Okay, maybe my electronic Digimon pet thing is kind of rare, but that's about all I can think of.

Don't have many rare things, I do have a discontinued Parker Fly Mojo from 1999 that put me back quite a bit of money (beautiful guitar though). Also have a few old Amazing Spider Man annuals somewhere, and an Ultimate Spider Man #100 (not very rare).

I've got a small collection of original print runs of the books Restoree and Dragonflight, signed by the author, Anne McCaffrey.

I've also got some original print Choose Your Own Adventure books, signed by their author, Jody Lynn Nye. <3

Those four are kind of my prized possessions. Eventually, I'll get the rest of my books onto a Kindle, but those four? No. I could never replace them.

Now if you mean Rare to other people I do have a Bruce Lee signed Jeet Kune Do gi that my Uncle got when he trained for his 3rd black belt under Bruce Lee. It's pretty awesome.

If it doesn't have to be rare to anyone else, my family has eight pieces of the Berlin Wall that my grandmother and her siblings drew on when the wall went up. Now it has no real value to anyone else, but it's amazingly rare to find the piece of the wall that your own family had doodled on like 40 years later.

may not mean much to others but i sat and watched the wall go down live on tv. ill never forget it. thats an incredible piece of history you have there

I wasn't quite old enough to remember when the wall came down itself, I was only about 2, but later we visited Berlin with my Grandma and she met her aunt that had been on the other side of the wall when it went up for the first time in almost 40 years. Then we went to where their house was and found the pieces of the wall that they drew on. Was probably one of the coolest pieces of family Heirlooms ever.

I have an Icelandic 2000 krónu bill signed by James Randi. I think it quite possibly might be the only one in the world.

 

[ProperRussian]

I own an original copy of a book called When we were boys, by William O'Brien.
It was printed in 1890 and i can't even find an image to show you of it, I highly doubt its worth anything, but i haven't got around to actually checking.

I have two particularly nifty rare items I can think of off the top of my head. Carl Gustav Jung's glasses you always see him pictured in when he was in his later years- my great grandmother was Alma Jung, and we found them in her basement along with some of his books (sadly they were damaged in a flood) and some other random items.

I also have a screen-used "Grady's Inn" matchbook from Resident Evil Apocalypse, and one of the newspapers on screen from the end of the first movie (it's pretty neat, all the different newspapers shown in that scene were actually the same, with each page just being a different front page).

I have some fairly unique firearms too, but that tends to be one of those can-of-worms issues, so I'll leave it at that.

Edit: Oh yeah! I have a pretty neat fragment from the Berlin Wall with a bit of graffiti too, with a picture of it's source.

I have many of the early Bionicles, Lego franchise, which are pretty hard to get nowadays. I'm talking about the very first ones as well, the original Toa's.

Haha same here. Nothing can top the original bionicles.

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I have a copy of the first Toa Metru comic signed by writer Greg Farshtey. Unfortunately, the signature has faded, so it might as well be worthless.

Moving Along: I have a two-foot statue of Ronald McDonald made entirely out of LEGOs. It is surprisingly not as creepy as the real thing.

 

[dvd_72]

A coin that belonged to my grandfather. He worked at a bank and got a limited edition coin they made one year. There are only a handful in the world. He died before I was born, so it's practically my only link to him alongside being a rare object!

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

I own a near mint condition of a complete 4-disc game of Legend of the Dragoon for the PS1.

 

[chadachada123]

I've got a drum stick that I caught myself at a Green Day concert, along with a guitar pick from the same. That's probably the most "popular" rare item I own.

I have a coin collection worth [a lot], with the oldest being a coin from 253-268 AD, under the Roman Emperor Gallienus.

I have an artbook made by FourLeaf Studios, the creators of Katawa Shoujo, bought at a comic convention and signed by all of the creators that were in attendance.

I've got various special/limited editions of games, but otherwise I think that does it for notable rare things.

oooh i think i have them aswell somewhere.. in a box.. in the basement.. they were awesome!

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

The umbrella gun used to shoot Fidel Castro and this little toy train from the 1800's.

 

[Hylke Langhout]

I have a signed copy of "Don't Call Me Ishmael" by Michael Gerard Bauer
I have a metric ton of old Bionicle. I pretty much stopped collecting them after the Toa Mistika came out. It makes me happy to see how many Bionicle fans there are on this website.
I got a CD copy of the Retro City Rampage soundtrack. I believe those were limited in quantity.
I have a hat from the Christijan Albers Formula 1 team.
I have Miracle of Sound's "Press X to Rock" CD, which is out of stock at the moment, so that's something I guess.

 

[ParanoidEngineer]

Beano books from the 1950's onwards. They're worth about £60 each now apparently. Beano is a comic for those of you who don't know.

Nice! You win my good sir

I've got those too!

 

[gostchiken]

Common sense, apparently that is ridiculously rare around here.
Also

I have one of these.

It's still in it's plastic, but doesn't have a box. I have no idea what card is inside it.

I've got two pikachus (spelling on that?) and a Charizard, waiting for those to be worth something, I also have the whole set of first edition and second edition cards.

I've got a Charizard and a Togepi, back when it's stats were listed as ???
