    What's with people and Pokemon cards... I have a ton but they're buried somewhere in the house.

    The fact that Ellen DeGeneres touched it makes it worth $0.

    Wow. Impressive. But regarding autographs? I can beat you. I have a legitimate Babe Ruth autograph, that has been handed down from father to son for 80 years. It's sick. I also have Jackie Robinson (my grandfather was a batboy for his team), Hank Aaron, A-Rod's batting gloves, every single autograph of the 2009 WS champion Yankees, Roger Federer autograph, Serena Williams autograph, and Pete Sampras's autograph.
    Now for you soccer fans, I have-get this! Pele's freakin' autograph!!!! I know it's pretty sweet.
    Also, not many on this forum know much about cricket, but I have the autograph of everyone on the Indian cricket team and of the greatest sportsman ever, Sir Donald Bradman. Few of these autographs were collected by me; most were passed down through my family.
    The two I'm looking to acquire now are Muhammed Ali and Tiger Woods

    I don't really collect stuff.

    I do have the Drew Barrymore Playboy.

    January, 1995. Mint Condition.

    Not saying it's neccessarily worth anything, but I would say it's definitely rare.

    Maybe it's just me, but in my opinion autographs are 100% pointless unless you were there to personally witness the item being signed.

    Yeah I know, the history of the Speedmaster Professional itself owns more than enough regardless of Ellen. ;)

    Oh I've also got a Virtual Boy over at my parents' house with every game ever released for it.

    Quite sad really but I don't own that many rarities..

    I have:

    Autographed Pete Rose Baseball Card

    Atari 2600 with 2 controllers still in their original packaging and about 20 games

    1949 Bugs bunny record/audio book in good condition

    Shaquille O'neil Autographs (One book, and one rookie card)

    A couple of "rare" coins passed down to me, never really looked to see how rare

    And the NEScaline app for iphone! :p

    NEScaline isn't really all that rare, considering you can jailbreak and get it free.....

    Yup found out my mom threw out all of the ones my Grandfather had collected over the years...Hundreds Dumped in the trash, possibly a couple thousands of $$$ lost, still nothing compares to the heartache of her selling my Starwars ewok village set at a garage sale... :(

    Well, to us it's not rare, because, well, pretty much every person on TA is JB.

    BTW -- Jailbreaking does not equal piracy.
