Intro + early Assassin's Creed collection

[The Silent Man]

Hello everyone,
I just joined this community and I feel like writing a short introduction and show part of my small collection.

I live in Italy and I'm a fan of Monkey Island and Prince Of Persia since early '90s.
My interest in buying original copies of old games brought me on eBay, where I became both collector and experienced seller: throughout the last 8 years I have been buying and shipping literally thousands of collectible items (from and) to every corner of this planet - Peru, Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Fiji Islands, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, you name it.

Being the natural evolution of Prince Of Persia, the first Assassin's Creed got my attention immediately and I truly loved the early games in the series and I started collecting AC items.
I almost stopped between AC Revelations and AC3 when I understood that it became a culture phenomenon, a mandatory yearly release and it definitely got too popular for my pocket with all those editions and gadgets and merchandise.
I also live in a very small room, so now I only own selected items of new releases (a Freedom Edition, a Join Or Die Edition and the CE Strategy Guide for AC3).

This is a very small collection but I have several rarely seen items, such as

• AC2 promotional leather Codex book, very first version made of cotton-like pages and extremely limited;

• AC1 original numbered metal box;

• Promotional t-shirts such as the "Night Of The Assassin" one;

• AC2 Japanese perfect guide CE + special Lineage DVD;

• AC Revelations LED keyholder;

• Promotional and limited edition AC Brotherhood hoodies...

Sorry I don't have a complete picture yet. Here are the first pictures of my collection (updated to AC Brotherhood). More to come in a near future.
