Does anyone have any really rare VG themed collectibles? I'm not talking about stuff like those "collecters" items like a Resident Evil umbrella or a Kasumi 12" figurine they sell by the van load in game shops these days. I mean something genuinely rare.
If so, what is it, when and where did you get it and would you sell it for the right price?
I don't have anything anymore. I did have a vinyl record when I was 4 or so based on the original Donkey Kong arcade game. It had a bunch of original songs inspired by the game. The sleeve had art on the front of it taken from the arcade cabinet (pic below) and the back had four screenshots of the game and it was in great condition and the record was in great condition.
I can't find it anywhere online so it must be insanely rare which means it would be worth a ton of money to the right person.
The problem is, I haven't been able to find it in 15+ years. I have the sinking feeling someone sold it for next to nothing. :(
If I found it, I don't think I'd sell it. I'd love to know it's worth, though. I've no clue where I got it in the first place. I'll ask sometime.

It was similar to this art but Mario was better drawn with a rosey nose and with blue around the image rather than white.
