Yeah, that's why I don't want to pay a silly amount of money for one. >.< Hoping I might get one at a semi reasonible price...

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

Fox that is what I think as well, that kit was actually a steal.

lol are you crazy, its in complete and quite easy to find (i owned 2 but sold both).

I like the concept art most (especially because its signed).

I love the Borderlands thingy

I'd say rarest:
1. Borderlands
2. That print
3. That ninja
4. Dark Souls pk

Borderlands and Maw concept art are how coma would say "bestest"

I would choose the Ninja..
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
