My full children's encyclapedia set from 1928 that I found a tthe thrift store for $11. It's not much, but it's really neat.

I also have a small plush lamb that my grandfather gave me when I was born. It is literally my most prized possession.

A digipack of -Ghost Opera- Kamelot which has ''Congratulations on your birthday, Roy Khan written inside.

My gold cross necklace that I got from my grandparents, when I turned 15.
I still wear it whenever I can, even though I'm an agnostic.

My SA (Sturmabteilung) dagger, as carried by Hitler's "brownshirts", his personal thugs before they were wiped out during the night of long knives. It's in mint condition and was made in 1933 by Carl Eicohorn of Solingen. It has its original sheath in near mint condition and an in tact swastika on the handle, as well as the engraving "Alles Fur Deustchland" on the side of the blade. It was valued at £600 three years ago. I also have a second class iron cross medal from WW2 along with the issuing envelope.

A first edition hardcover copy of "Consider Phlebas", signed by Iain M. Banks, the author. Only 176 copies were ever produced. It is the original, unaltered version. It was shipped from America and cost around 200 dollars, i think - i can't remember for sure but i do have the receipt to show its authenticity with the book itself. It is also in mint condition with a dust protected sleeve to keep it that way.

Not as valuable but John Ajvinde Lindqvist's latest novel, Harbour. First edition hardcover and signed by the author. It was also purchased from a dealer but i can't remember how much it cost or how much it is worth now as it was bought around a year ago. Lindqvist is the genius who penned Let The Right One In and Handling the Undead, both of which are brilliant novels.

A $200 Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet.

In hindsight it's not that much better than an $80 one but this one has lasted me 4 computers and has quite a few cool things.

Just curious, which do you have? And what would you recommend for someone who might be interested in getting a tablet for drawing?

I own a fair few vinyls. Including (but not limited to) Neil Young's "On the Beach" and Don McLean's "American Pie".

I've got a few signed CDs, and I have a CD collection which fills up a shelf unit which is 8 shelves high and 1.5 metres wide.

I haven't properly counted them all, but taking each CD case to be 1 cm thick, that's 150 CDs per shelf, and multiplied by 8 that's 1200 CDs. Taking each CD to be about 40 minutes (I don't have all of them on my computer, because my hard drive died a few months back. Building it back up, bit by bit.), that's 48,000 minutes, or 800 hours, or 33 days and 8 hours.

That's an awful lot of music.

I'm quite proud of that, actually.

I'm a proud owner of too many Magic: The Gathering cards to bother listing here. Some of my most notable MTG collections are:

- The Duelist, MTG Abacus life counter - White. Easily the rarest of my magic collection and contains the most sentimental value to me.
- Complete set of 40 Revised duel lands (1 Unlimited Underground Sea) in NM condition.
- Signed by the Artist Magic Cards including Rofellos, Sink Hole, and Grim Monolith, etc.
- 1 Foil FNM Swords to Plowshares from the 10 or fewer tournaments I've played in my life.
- Complete set of unopened Commander decks. Granted, this is something easily obtained since Commander is new, but I've decided to preserve mine unopened and just proxy the cards I'd use. This makes the set extra special to me and just looks cool when I see them on my bookcase.
- The fact that I own 57 decks, all of which hold themes and concepts and have gone through many hours of deck testing to make them the best at what they try to accomplish.

Other than my car, it's definitely the hide of my first hunt, a male moose I killed with my Remington 700. It's on display at my mom's living room.

I'm not proud to own anything, I dunno it seems weird to be proud of possessions. I'm fond of my books but proud isn't really a good word to use to describe my feelings towards the book.

I've got one of these.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Bamboo-Special-Pen-Touch/dp/B0046RE9IC/
However I wouldn't reccomend that one due to how expensive it is and the benefits are only slight.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Bamboo-One-Graphics-Tablet/dp/B000VZZCSO/
This one or one around that price is probably the best one to get.
