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

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

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

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.

For me personally would be the Borderlands tile any day of the week and twice on Sunday One-of-a-kind and the only series there that interests me! My vote was for that!

Of all the collectors edition I have, there is 1 Item only I have and is for me my most prized possession.

It's nothing exceptional but I'm particularly proud of it since it took me quite a while to finish it. ( the picture is 4 years old if i'm not wrong )




It's my little baby and it stand proudly in front of my PS2 collections.

I will never part from it.
