What is your geekiest possession?

Ooh! I just thought of something! I actually have a VHS tape of the Star Wars Holiday Special! I started watching it about 12 years ago and stopped about halfway through. The tape is still sitting where I stopped it! :lol:
(And yes, Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" does come to mind now!)
I don't know if this was a competion or not, but if it was! you win HANDS DOWN!:techman: I can't belive you have the UNholy grail of ALL star wars collectibles in your hands! How the hell did that happen?
 
Bah! you want Geeky I've got it! I have the insanely hard to find 1/7000 Japanese ROMANDO star trek ships! Plus I have the japanese F-TOYS 1/2500 trek capsule toys! and of course the geekiest of geeky in my possession is a PGX graded 9.4 copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 !!! however it is a 3rd print, but it's still a real pain to find!

You just reminded me!!
i forgot about my furuta ships!

Yah I ''HAD'' the Promethius and Nova.
 
oh... they are quite brittle, i have some ships that need to go to spacedock
I wish SOMEbody had told me how brittle the plastic was before I spent money on them! and what's REALLY sad is for a short while the NOVA was my favorite possession!:((And I have a TON of stuff!)
 
I have a box full of 1st-Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks and modules. And a couple of boxes full of painted miniature figures. And a bunch of dice.

I still have my coat of arms from the University of Alberta Phantasy Gamers Club.

One year, we changed the constitution so that the club president was the King, elected officers were various royalty, long-time members were Knights (there were very few Dames, of course), and new members were Squires. As a former president, I became a Duke.

Everyone with a rank of Knight or higher was entitled to a coat of arms on the club office wall. Mine was blazoned "Sable, a mechanical penis rampant with thunderbolts Argent." (I copied the design from an illustration in this book. It's at the bottom, centre.)

My motto was "Mors gratia mortis". So there were several layers of geekiness in that coat of arms: D & D geek, SF geek, liberal-arts geek, and Goth geek. I was pretty proud of it.

Beyond that, I have comparatively little to show for forty years of geekdom. :(

My geekiest possession? Probably my geekiest acquisition, an old and unused BBC Micro Model B+ acquired from an old university friend (now sadly deceased) several years ago. I remember getting it to work again in their office - everyone looked at me as if I was some crazy person. They were all probably ZX Spectrum geeks. :rolleyes: :lol:
