What is your geekiest possession?

Wishbringer, the Stone of Dreams, sits in my headboard.
In the top of my closet is a copy of "The Cat In The Hat", autographed by "Weird Al" Yankovic. (It's his favorite book, so it's what my son carried for him to sign when we saw him in concert.)
On a shelf in my dining room, I have a copy - my copy from when I was young - of the 1983 Star Wars Question And Answer Book About Computers, which featured R2-D2 and Threepio throughout it. It's signed by Anthony Daniels. It sits not far from my copy of Spock's World signed by Diane Duane.
My RPG bookcase contains more books from more systems than I could probably name at the moment - but my prize possessions there are my three deluxe leatherbound 3.5 Edition D&D core rulebooks. Each signed by Gary Gygax himself, at the last game he ever ran at a GenCon.
In my CD collection is a copy of Baconspiracy by The Great Luke Ski, signed by him at that same GenCon....
....at the request of my wife, who loves his music. She and my kids are my geekiest "possessions".

I'm a DC Comics nerd.
I have a WWI tommy helmet with attached wings, to make a replica Jay Garrick's Flash helmet.
I've got a hand-made, two foot tall Bottle City of Kandor.
I've got a Hal Jordan Green Lantern Power Battery and a *perfect* custom GL mask.
I used to have three custom 1950s Batarangs: Camera Batarang, Flash Bomb Batarang, and The One I Can't Remember Batarang. (My little daughter and her buddy destroyed them one day.)
And I've got a display with three Green Arrow replica arrows: a Boxing Glove Arrow, a Handcuff Arrow, and a Grenade Arrow.
I think there's more, but I can't remember. They're all packed away in the garage, or I'd take a few pictures.

^RIGHT!
You got any proof?

Mine would have been a self-built Bath'leth out of wood. Made it in my late teens together with a friend who was into Star Trek just like me.
Sadly it didn't survive my move to a new appartment and i had to throw it away.
When TNG was in full swing in the early 90s i also contemplated getting a Starfleet uniform but since most looked very low quality and i couldn't afford a custom, tailor-made uniform that project was scrapped.
Other than that my place is near geek-free.. i have many Star Wars novels and other SF stuff and i play tabletop games (strategy games with small metal or plastic soldiers and monsters) but depending on the cultural circle you're asking i may be a low-level geek

I have a Sting (the sword, not the singer) replica, as well as two other swords and a steel greathelm and gauntlets on my desk/wall.
Also, the Strange Brew action figures, a Tick and a Gorn action figure.
I have two of those Celeron chips, though I haven't done anything to them yet.
I also have a whole mess of those 'Titanium' series diecast ships, I think I have the whole Star Wars set minus repaints, and the BSG set. They were supposed to be for my son, time will tell. Also a mess of those Johnny Lightning Trek series, though they stopped selling those in my area pretty quick.
I have a first edition of 'Star Wars' the book.Forget if it's worth anything, I just would up liking it. Also the Star Wars BK glasses. I wish they'd do that again for other movies.

Hah, Strange Brew action figures, awesome!
I've got a large talking Tick (Spoon! Evil is Afoot! etc etc) unfortunately, my daughter pulled his body from his legs, I really loved that guy and I've never again seen another like it. 
Autographed photo of Janeway. That's about it. I'm a failed geek.
What I would really like to pick up, if I can, is a good quality well-fitting grey Starfleet t-shirt, and a Voyager com badge. Some day...

My dad made a Bat'leth for my uncle years ago, he still has it. I think my uncle has the best collection of playmates star trek stuff. he has pretty much all of them!
And he has the playmates excelsior thats actually a redress of the enterprise b- he said i can have it when he finds it. i will probably turn it into the enterprise b. i am sure you can get stickers somewhere

Unfortunately, I don't actually have a Fleshlight.
The actual geekiest thing I have is the MegaBlocks Enterprise-D. I suck at being a geek and spend my money on stuff that makes women want to sleep with me instead.
I don't believe that. ^That particular item would have any woman I've ever met (even the lesbians) run away from you!
Wow, that is impressive... But NOT geeky! lol you just have a talent
