What is the coolest collectible thing that you own. It doesn't necessarily need to be worth that much money.
For me it's either
A) an original drawing and plastic Green Lantern ring signed by Nart Modell, the guy that designed the original version of the character (Alan Scott) and died recently
B) one year when I was much younger my parents and I went on vacation to Cooperstown to the Baseball Hall of Fame for induction weekend (it was the year Reggie Jackson was inducted) and a very small amount of children's tickets to the hall were special and gained them admission into a special autograph session with Hall of Famers. Well I got one of those tickets and now on my wall I have a framed thing containing the autographed postcards (the postcards they gave us were of the plaques dedicated to that specific player in the HOF) I had signed that day by 13 different classic baseball players. Also, when we were done with our autographs, we got a giftbag filled with candy and baseball cards from Leaf. It was frickin awesome!

Wow, this is tough. I'm a huge collector so bear with me...I dont think I can mention just one.
Ummm....I have a signed photo with both Nimoy's and Shatner's autographs on it from the 40th anniversary Con I attended this past September. I also have a working tricorder that I got at the same convention. Too cool for words (and really irritates my cat!)
I bought the V for Vendetta exact replica mask (Ltd Edition of only 500) when it first came out from DC Direct that's now only available on Ebay for like, a thousand dollars. It sold out in like, 3 days so I was lucky to get it.
I also have the Catwoman Barbie (yes, I said Barbie. Shut the hell up, its the only one I own!) that looks like the Jim Balent version, also limited edition and worth quite a bit of money on ebay now. Yeah, the only Barbie I own wears leather, claws, a cape, and carries a whip. Hell yeah.
Ummm...lessee...trying to cover all the fandoms...Well, I have the first appearance of Phoenix (Uncanny X-Men 101) in good condition, of which I am very proud.

The only three comics I own. They're a little story of how Death kills Wolverine in The Astonishing X-men. Although I was disappointed to find out later that Death was actually Wolverine.

There's a few: -An original copy of Giant Sized X-Men #1. -Signed Justice League: Secret Origins by Alex Ross and Paul Dini. -The Ultimo Dragon mask my mom got me from Mexico.
Maybe some other junk, but can't ponder them up right now.

I just thought of another one. Remember the Marvel Action Hour, made up of Iron Man and Fantastic Four cartoons that would air Saturday mornings? Well while that was around, Marvel ran a contest where you had to mail in bags that tie-in comics that had a fake litho in them came in to be entered. Well I won first prize, which was an actual animation cell from the Iron Man animated series. It's just him flying over some water but it's still pretty cool.

Now former MLB player Derek Bell made a special appearance at Bridlewood Mall in 1992, back when I lived in Toronto and Bell played for the Blue Jays. I got his autograph. It's not worth much, but that's all I got.
I also have a Roberto Alomar rookie card. Greatest 2B I've ever seen in my lifetime.
I remember my brother had an Eric Lindross card before he went to the NHL. My bro treated it like gold because he knew it was worth something (we did live in Canada afterall). I wonder if he still has the card.
I have a crapload of wrestling stuff, but I'll just mention the non-wrestling stuff.

I have a really cool picture taken from a Lancaster Bomber of another Lancaster Bomber (that my great grand dad was flying) over Germany in 1944. You can see the flak going off around them.
I also have an E.T. cuddly toy that was bought for me when I was born in 1982.

My favorites of the bunch are my 1994 Emmitt Smith, 1995 Shaquille O'Neal, 1994 Cal Ripken, Jr., and 1995 Dominik Hasek.

Well I got some collectable drinking glasses that I think are sweet. I'm a Steelers fan and I have that whole set of old Steelers glasses from McDonalds. They have the players of the 70s on them. I got some records too but the boxes aren't in good shape. My uncle left most of his records here when he moved away. Lotta of Elton in that box. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is in there. RICK JAMES. I'm so glad he bought a Rick James record in his youth. Random Gino Vanelli. The guy didn't have too many hits. James Taylor's Gorilla. Bunch of other stuff. I consider them collectables.
