Here's my autographed 1994 Golden Demon program.
It's signed by Andy chambers, Mark Gibbons, Mike Mcvey, Adrian Wood, John Blanche among others.
I shouldn't think that this thing is in high demand or worth any money at all but I like it. It somehow connects me to that era.
So, has anyone out there got anything really exciting?
Perhaps a treasure map drawn by Gary Gygax, a Slayer Sword that's been relegated to the garden shed, a serviette with Jervis' sweat on it!
Dig out and brush off your dusty magic items and show a world that might just care! Show Dakka!

I have a copy of GURPS Space from the first print run signed by Steve Jackson. I also still have the letter explaining the signature as an apology of sorts for the printing delays.

Well.... As game genre is of no consequence:
Off the top of my head... I have a prepublication monster manual for 3rd edition D&D, a "Fantasy Rollenspiel" book for D&D and a corrected copy of one of Gary Gygax's Master of the Game books (pics will follow!).

I've been working on a collection of WD, have about 50 missing but luckily got the first couple this year. I also have a lot of the old heavy metal catlogs, early editions of warhammer and 40k. Finally got the Book of the Astronomicon and have some of the first supplements for 1st edition WFB coming in the mail this week. In the shop I'm collecting and putting up old posters and standups. Kick myself for stuff that got worn and tossed over the years. I finally have a bunker to hold it all, and I don't have it!

I've got signed copies of Ravenor (by Dan!) and Cadian Blood and Soul Hunter (both by Aaron!)
I also have an old WD issue, 222 I think, with the Tears of Isha campaign and Warwick Kinrade's Tsagarad city fight army! I cherish it and see it as the primary blame for me getting into the hobby.

Well he worked with others to sculpt it. He once worked at atomic monkey, sculpting family guy figures and other things such as the helmet. But he soon got fired for some reason. I do believe him, his greenstuff work is amazing.

I remember I kind of wanted the Space Wolves belt buckle a while ago and I saw it going for far more than I was willing to pay on eBay. Some of this stuff is worth something, but in all honesty I really just want to see you folks keep posting this stuff! For instance, I'd love to see that metal Thunderhawk, as I've never actually seen one unassembled.

I have an original Aqulia badge (two-pin) in the 3" size.
Somewhere in a bag of clothes attached to my old leather jacket. I used to have the terminator crux but it got nicked by a lowlife at a tourney back in the early 90s.
I have WD127 signed by Jes goodwin (Early Australian Games Day).
No pics as I haven't got my camera gear out of the shed where the rest of my gaming stuff still sits after last weekend's tourney.

I am lucky enough to own 3 of the limited run green leather bound Gaunt's Ghosts books released by Black Library, there are only 300 of each in existance, two of them have been personaly signed by Dan Abnett.
I also have a copy of "the Iron Star" which was limited to 1200 copies.
These books are the thing I would rescue first from a burning building, sod the girlfriend.

I sort of get the impression she might be the one to start the fire?
The closest I come to anything like that is the Ultramarine standard bearer that came in the Skulz promotion or the Limited Edition Rogue Trader RPG Boxset [I actually have two but no one seemed that interested in buying it when I put it in swap shop].

I know I've got the Death Company and regular BA ones, think I've got the Ultrasmurf too. Gonna have to dig those badboys out, they've been buried since I moved a couple years ago...

GW-produced janglies from a GorkaMorka campaign at the Fair Lakes GW (RIP) around 1997. One for trouncing the store staff in a pitched game, one for a mob painting contest, and one for being the top gang at the end of the campaign.
Also, a slick bolter keychain from Gamesday...1997? 1998? Late 90's sometime, I forget exactly which.
