Someone asked me this the other day and I never really thought about it. So I was racking my brain thinking out of all the DVDs I have, toys, posters & other merchandise what out of the lot would I consider the rarest treasure of the lot?
Well for me it would probably be my Gamesmaster collection as I paid alot for it and something ive always wanted toi get. Alough the Rod Hull collection would have to come at a close second.
So what of your merchandise do you consider the rarest?

when my parents divorced my mum had a mass burning of my dads stuff,including the free fan club Beatles floppy singles they did each year at Christmas, and his were signed by the band.
My OH has a lot of Star Wars 'not toys, models' in boxes
(Mind you, I still wish I had the original release from 1980, when it was 24 cassettes in a briefcase).
I bet you wish you had found this bugger, (Parapuzosia seppenradensis) although whether you could have found a way to move it is another matter!

It's wonderful to have something used by our very ancient ancestors, isn't it.
By chance I found a stone hand tool with a serrated edge for cutting and flat end for grinding. It fits perfectly in my little hand, there's even a dipped area for your thumb to rest in snugly for good grip. I like to think of some woman thousands of years ago using it.
It is an absolute beauty. I would never wear it, much less touch it - but it's ever so lovely to look at.
I guess it depends on the context.
My Ducati motorbike is a piece of art, a marvellous bit of engineering and an incredible toy.
I have one of the first Sinclair calculators, which was the first thing I ever built after I first picked up a soldering iron.
I have a couple of rifles which I've sunk enough money into that I could've bought a very nice car instead.
I have a wedding ring on a chain which, of course, has huge sentimental value.
In the end, though, if it was a "your house is on fire. What would you grab?" scenario, I'd probably pick my laptop, simply cos all the stuff that I've recently been working on is on it.
I just don't really get attached to "stuff".
Bat Out of Hell hand painted on a plate by a professional Pottery artist. It's a 'one off' she did for me 37 years ago and is an exact copy to detail of the album artwork (the white mark on the bat wing is just reflection from the light and isn't on the plate). :cool:
What about your wife:)
A tiny bit of coal from the Titanic, you can buy them on ebay so they aren't rare but they probably will be some day.
A piece of Del's shirt from an Only Fools & Horses episode
A tiny bit of rock from a 10th century Celtic High Cross
My grandad bought him for me when I was about 2, so Teddy is almost 56. He used to go everywhere with me, I wouldn't go out without him until I was 7 or so.
He's very similar to this one - http://www2.antiquesnavigator.com/ebay/images/2012/120844408098.jpg
My other treasure is a tiny paper bus ticket, the one my husband got on the night I met him.
As for things with real monetary value, that's probably my large mint condition Smiths/Morrissey record collection.
That's lovely:)
Thank you, Woody.
