What is the one thing, or few things in your collection that you own which you value more than anything. Your pride and joy, and the thing/s that you couldn't live without if anything bad were to happen to it / them?
If, say, you were unlucky enough to live in a place such as new Orleans, and had to abandon everything to save yourself, what would you take with you above all else? What would you be devestated to lose the most if you were forced to leave everything behind for whatever reason?
What do you have that you know would be near impossible to replace, simply because of it's rarity or rare condition? What would you be able to easially identify if your possesions were stolen and turned up on eBay a week later?
Doesn't take a genius to figure out what one of my pride & joy's is. And I know for a fact that if it were to turn up in any local pawn shop / game shop, I would be able to instantly identify it due to it's exceptionally unique serial number which is very easially rememberable.
I also know a lot of people who work in pretty much all the local game / pawn shops in my region (Ipswich / Norwich / Cambridge / Colchester / Bury St Edmunds Etc) and they would be able to spot certain aspects of my collection if they ever got stolen and turned up in their premises. I suppose I am lucky in that respect, but other's aren't as lucky...
So, if you were unfortunate enough to "Lose" something from your gaming collection, what would you be most devestated about losing, and is anything unique enough that you'd be able to spot it a mile off?
