Probably my Sander Cohen statue. It was gifted by Ken Levine to people that worked on the original Bioshock game, and to a handful of press people and fans. I can't remember how many they made, but it's just a little over 100 if memory serves.

I came close to owning a Sonic the Hedgehog statue that is 1 of 1 and was at Sega of America in the president's office back in Sonic's heyday. That would've been the ultimate piece. :(

Maybe my sealed Fallout 1 big box, still sealed and not damaged Bioshock CE or Art of Dead Space clamshell. Nothing too rare I think.

Mine is my Mass Effect Bronze SR-2 Normandy numbered and limited to 200pcs. :D

I think the most uncommon item I own which hasn't come up for sale in a while is my Silver Zelda DSL. ^^ They made 1000 of those though...

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/mishimakazama/tomkalinskesSonicstatue1.jpg

It was on auction twice before it actually sold. I watched as nobody bid the first time out. I passed on it because I thought it was too expensive at the time. In hindsight though, it wasn't expensive at all. Considering the rarity and importance of the piece, the price was incredibly reasonable. It was only $500. Passing on it was the biggest mistake.

By the time it went on auction the second time out, I actually realized how important and reasonably priced it was. However it was still a day or two after it was relisted that I realized this. By then, someone else had also realized the importance of the piece and contacted the seller and had the listing taken down and shipped to him.

Nall from Lunar.
Took me years to hunt one down... then I had to throw more money than I should of at the seller. Originally sold in Japan by ESP in 1994. A couple were then bought by Victor Ireland (president of Working Designs at the time) for the Lunar: EB Haiku contest. He sold the remaining later on via eBay. Nall is ridiculously hard to find nowadays. Still can't believe I managed to find one for my collection after all those years. C:

Yeah, it is just the signed version, there is a black Zavvi signed version aswell which is a lot rarer, i think there are just 20 or something like that.

Onyxia

02-14-2013, 02:04 AM

Anywhere from $350 to $600.
Someone had one up for $1,200 but I don't think it sold for THAT much.
I have been offered $700 in a Flickr mail, though (not sure if the person would have come through. I told them I wasn't interested in parting with mine and that was the end of that). They seem to be going up in value as they are showing up less and less frequently (can be a few years without seeing any around). I'm a huge Lunar fan and I had ALWAYS regretted not buying the "cheap" ones Ireland put up on eBay ($99 back then)! Learned the hard way that it's not always wise to wait (I waited more than 10 years for this, yikes).

This is probably my rarest item. The original Kasumi-Chan Xbox console that was made before the rename of the game. The final version says "Ultimate" instead of "Online." Most of these were probably destroyed or re-used. I also have a little bit of provenance on this console.

Yes that is quite rare......:swoon:

I imagine you have quite a large Uncharted collection then?

As that one item alone usually sells for a lot of money

Ashler

03-29-2013, 05:31 PM

I imagine you have quite a large Uncharted collection then?

I have:

Uncharted - Press Kit
Uncharted 2 - Press Kit
Uncharted 3 - Press Kit

Uncharted 2 CE
Uncharted 3 CE (PAL + NTSC)

The Art of Uncharted Limited Folio Edition
Uncharted - Drake's Journal (Hardback) - From Nolan North

I think that is all?

SwiftDeath

03-29-2013, 05:36 PM

Lol you have two of the grails then

Fortune Hunter and the Folio Edition

I think the Uncharted 1 PK used to be considered a grail at one point but not that rare anymore

Still a great collection nonetheless :thumb:

If it weren't for you Ingmar, I would not have scored my copy for dirt cheap! Of course, I didn't get mine from you directly, lol.

I'm pretty sure I got my copy from someone that bought it from you, and that shortly theafter had buyer's remorse or something. I think I got mine for like $180 USD shipped if memory serves.

I just remember the seller telling me that he just "took a bath on the deal" by selling it to me for that price. I'm guessing he paid you a lot of money for it.

So thanks Ingmar!

Wow really thought it would be an AC item considering it's you know, you and everything :P

How many copies of the ACII crimson book PK do you think are in the wild?

I thought that might be under ten as a lot are supposed to be in an ubisoft warehouse somewhere

Well since we're all in the picture sharing mood (and since we're all spreading the Bioshock love at the moment), here's the pride and joy of my collection:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/mishimakazama/IMG_0598.jpg

I think this may be the rarest piece in my entire collection. I don't personally know anyone else that has one. Most are in the hands of the devs of the original game; some are in the hands of press people; and even fewer are in the hands of regular fans.

As sideshow was able to shed more light on crouching altair, maybe the maker can shed more light on the real production number?

Time will tell how rare the Infinite Kit is but I know the Darksiders 1 kit is extremely rare.

I paid roughly the same for both (a little less for Darksiders due to condition).

My favourite item is not the rarest from my collection, only 2500 units made but even with that quantity is imposible to find. Im talking about the Konamistyle Premium Package of Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops. In my opinion, best packing and content ever.

My rarest must be Andrew Ryan statue.

Hmmm, have to pick one eh? That's tough. Can't put a finger on a single piece in my collection that I would consider to be the "rarest", especially since a few of them have never been seen in the open market.

I'll just make it easy for myself and share a piece that resonates with me the most as it also happens to be my most favorite game of all time...that would be my Shenmue Limited Edition signed by Yu Suzuki (not to be confused with the infamous one that sold on eBay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh9xDCPOJCY)).

How much?

Cheap to me,AU$640 inc postage.Roughly the same as what the 200 version cost when they first came out. Though the seller under quoted postage so i will be sending him a few extra dollars. There was another that was listed not long after that went for about AU$1100 exc postage,so it was definately a good price:)

Not that rich anymore:( I looked at it logically,the other version where 200 were made sells for an average of $1000,sometimes more. The other statue like the one i got where only 100 were made sold for $1100,which to me was still a cheap deal. So by my way of thinking the price i paid was to me a bargain deal & theres probably some who would agree,i think:)

I personal price statues over some papers that some just printed a limit edition of.. :)

It may not be the one that is worth the most money, but the one I would pay the most for if it I have too :)

Me too, but as I dont know anything more about those items and I'm not specialist in this kind of games/stuff I would value the print more. Idk why though :D

SwiftDeath

02-23-2014, 09:34 PM

Need some help with this one I know which is rarest, that would be the Borderlands Tile which is OOAK. But, there are other rarities among the collection what would you guys say. The Ninja is less than 30 world wide, that number is straight from Klei, and The Maw concept art signed by the team was given out at PAX East 2013 one a day for a total of 3 plus I think Twisted Pixel kept one. Then there is Dark Souls Press Kit, incomplete. If given the chance to have one of the four which would you guys choose?

The problem with stating which item is the "rarest" is that even amongst us collectors we use the term incorrectly. Often what most people actually mean when they say rarest is the most valuable which is not the same thing.

Rarest in this case would simply be whatever item has the least number of copies which appears to be the Borderlands tile followed by the maw concept then the ninja then lastly the dark souls press kit

As for which item is the most valuable that's much much harder to determine because it depends on desirability from both how big the collector base is for that game and how desirable is that specific item. It doesn't help that many collectors don't bother to research much into how rare an item actually is as can be seen with the AC crouching altair statue that is often attributed to 100 or less in existence when we know it's at least 1000 or 2000, or the AC III tomahawk which has popped up so often no way it's limited to 100 either. Yet collectors still pay big money for these items even though there are far rarer AC items out there.

For your most valuable item I would say the Borderlands tile probably followed by the DSII press kit. While the ninja and maw concept are much much rarer I don't believe they have nearly the active collector base or desirable nature of the ds II press kit

02-23-2014, 11:19 PM

Agree rarity does not equal value, but I would have guessed that the press kit would be the most valuable. That tile sold for $250 at the borderlands auction but I have no idea on the prices of press kits. I'd still take the tile out of that lot almost bid on it last year.

You could be right about the press kit being more valuable than the tile

It really would depend on how you advertise the tile on an ebay listing as to how much it would go for I would imagine

I think it could be worth quite a bit more than 250 if you found the right collector

misterunboxers

02-23-2014, 11:25 PM

In thought the tile was a great deal at 250 and I thank you for not bidding it up it is great to have it here, also in the package Pitchford sent a signed Zero poster :) but swift I agree 100% but some people would view otherwise.

I had a chance a long time ago on eBay but I did not have the money to bid on it sadly. But that one had a broken finger, but still I would have loved to have it broken index finger or not. Sold for around $1,100 I believe (plus an unreal amount of shipping cost).

I have got every item I have ever wanted. Maybe I am lucky, but I wish you well. That looks good. And if you're sometimes in need of money, give me a call and that guitar is mine. I just spent 760$ in one game alone. Being retired rocks. Lol.

Lol... yeah I have gotten almost every item I have ever set my mind to. Honestly never really set it too hard on the statue due to its inevitable cost. But if I wanted it bad enough back then I would have found a way I suppose, but it was early in my collecting.

Now i am broke again so I hope one does not pop up for awhile but I would take the statue of the guitar anyday... but obviously best case is to have both. Wish I would have saw one a few months ago... I would have had the cash then.

For me it is usually.. I get money.. Interesting item pops up. :D But I know that other side too. And yeah, having both would be amazing. Maybe you should start saving so you're ready when that statue looks at you again and says "You want me, I know 'cos I'm cold and so hard.."

Okay. That would be little creepy.

Yeah that is weird...

Unfortunately right now I am paying out of pocket for a treatment program I am in... this is killing me financially but I got t do it.

Also I recently got my PS4 and a 40" Samsung 1080p TV, plus I got a new gaming laptop (this was all before the cash for my program issue arose... so I was already $2,000 down when that came around).
