    MY rarest thing would be either my copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga (U.S. release) or my JVC VCD+PhotoCD card for the saturn.

    Wowza. I've got a whole bunch of probably worthless E3 swag. Various stickers and keychains, Perforce branded foam airplanes, a metal tin with "The Movies" logo on it (that used to be full of Tootsie Rolls), a couple PS2 Demo Discs, and a dozen or so T-Shirts including a shirt from the Nintendo DS announcement event (with a picture of the original DS design on it).

    As for stuff worth something, a pretty much useless (to me) N64 Interface Box [image], no power supply or partner card. When I'm ready to join the marketplace, it'll probably be trade fodder for the stuff I'm looking for.

    One I'm rather proud of, a Wonderwitch (Wonderswan consumer dev kit, like a Yarozee) [image]. The manual is in Japanese, but having worked on a number of systems, you can actually figure out some of the technical stuff easily. Grayscale palettes. Neat. :)

    And one I know is *really* rare, a Wondermagic kit (Wonderswan flash cart and parallel port programmer, unofficial) [image]. I can't remember how I possibly found the manufacturer. They produced maybe a couple hundred of them, and I somehow got them to ship me a couple all the way to Canada.

    I remember seeing a Mega Drive version of that Romscan in a British magazine called Mean machines. It never did get released though as far as I know.

    First time I have ever seen that product. Never even heard of it before. Mind you, when I was into the 2600 I was too young to even care about anything other than Pole Position & PacMan. Not even the threat of nuclear attack at any moment from those pesky Russians could put me off my Atari gaming.

    Nice item....and boxed :clap:

    I am a huge factory sealed game collector so I would say some of my rarest sealed games are:

    PAL Samba de Amigo boxset
    Radiant Silvergun
    Neo Turfmasters AES
    Chibi and Enemy zero game that I just won on Yahoo Japan, I am still really upset for overlooking the buy it now offer. Could I be more careless :banghead:

    Problem is cellowrap degrades, it's all going to harden and flake off eventually.

    I suppose my pcengine and supergrafx dev hardware would be my rarest.

    We bought the Romscanner in the mid 80's at our local CO-OP store and the Navarone was mail-order early 80's.

    As far as the cello wrap, you are spot on. I bought a rechargable battery for my Game Gear recently, NIB & shrinkwrapped, but the wrap had become stuck to the box and ripped off some of the artwork when it was opened.:dammit: I didn't get it to be collectible, I wanted another (and more portable) battery for my GG so my daughter could play it on road trips.

    Warms my heart that my 5 year old likes Sonic and wants to play the Game Gear. :thumbsup:

    I've started here at the wrong time, because I've just been through a mini-clearout selling off some of my more expensive LEs and systems - I can't justify keeping a factory sealed Street Fighter 3 jigsaw puzzle when I should be buying play mats and baby clothes instead.

    In any case, my "rares" are pretty standard stuff - Pal Panzer Dragoon Saga and the like. I do have quite a few PS2 LEs, but I find it hard to gauge the rarity of them because I never have any info about actual shipped amounts.

    Oh hang on I do have several SegaDirect DX packs for various games, and the Sangokushi Taisen 3 binder DX pack (bought it mainly for the OST). I also have a Sakura Taisen: Mysterious Paris watch. Like almost everything else she was bought to use, so the strap is a little worn these days.

    The rarest thing i own is my Brown T-dev with her "BBA config disc" on NR disc and my complete beta release of npdp-gdev.
    And my sentimental rarest thing is a golf set (balls, tees, pocket knife, towel,... all with gamecube logo on it) win in a golf contest ^^

    Many moons ago I was given a prototype AY-3-8500 game chip from a friend who was one of the engineers at GI, it is the same as the production version except that the football game has 5 bats ! due to a logic error in the chip

    Thats the only rare gaming thing I have
