What Is The Rarest/ Collectable You Own?

[The_Q]

I think we've had a thread like this before where we listed all the rarest stuff we've collected over the years. But instead of a list pick one item that you think is the rarest or most collectible. I think this would be cool.

Mine would be the Sonata Arctica Seabag

 

[Creeps]

Judas Priest's Rocka Rolla vinyl, original album cover, signed by the Metal God.

 

[J-Man]

The rarest I have is CONCEPTION "Flow". I also have NIGHTWISH "Dark Passion Play" autographed by all band members, plus all crew members, including TERO, and EWO. So that one is the most special CD I have.

 

[mëtålspëd]

I have a factory sealed "Pantera - Metal Magic" LP. I am not sure if thats the most collectable. I will have to look over my stuff when I get home.

 

[RagePSV]

Not sure how rare it is, but I have vinyl copy of Nightfall in Middle Earth signed by Hansi. I actually got it from Dr. Metal (I think that I have seen him floating around these forums) for making a donation to his show 7 or 8 years ago.

I know that they didn't make it too big, but I have an orginal demo tape from Cauldron Born that I really like.

Manegarm's first album, I guess

 

[Metaldrumz]

I have a few original pieces that I would consider rare as hell.

Twilightning - Affection Seeker (EP)

Sunset Strip - Strippin Time (Glam band featurning none other than Nils from Pagan's Mind)

Firewind - Nocturnal Symphony (Not the mp3.com version the actual pressed self released -Also own the mp3.com version)

Dream Evil - Hero Of Zeroes (EP)

Driver - S/T (Featuring Rob Rock, and Roy Z)

I've got a framed Queensryche Rage For Order 24x36 promo poster, and also a 16x20 Galactic Cowboys S/T promo poster, and an Anacrusis "Manic Impressions" 16x20 promo poster. I used to penpal with their bassist when I was a kid!

Is this rare?

Since I'm moving to USA I'm gonna get rid of all my old cassette tapes, including Angra demos, Eldritch demo, Rhapsody demo etc .. probably some fun stuff in between ...

A single used drumstick from Doc Killdrums that he gave me back on the Gutter Ballet tour.

[Sir Exar Kun]

- An LP version of Fates Warning's "Night on Brocken" with the original cover art

- Lillian Axe's "Love & War" original pressing CD

- Clockwork's debut EP (anybody even remember these guys?)

- 3 unopened copies of Shotgun Messiah's s/t LP (LOL! They were $0.79 each at Best Buy. My buddy and I bought all six copies they had, just to have them. I am curious to see if they have the stencil that came with the CD included, but I don't want to actually open any of them to find out!)

- Is Angra's "Reaching Horizon" demo on CD considered rare? If so, I got it!

Ha ha! I used to date a girl who was a Tori Amos freak! This album is TRULY TRULY rare. We think we know what rare is in metal, but this thing is out of control. You're probably safe here, but got post on the TA forum that you've got this and people will stalk you, seriously.
