Note: Items in red, about to be removed!
This will be a list of very rare items which will include various related information such as collectors who owns them, photos and details.
When I say rare items, I mean items which are almost impossible to find for sale or only one or two might be available according to our knowledge. For example, a pocketsize fire has no place in here but a pocketsize fire attack has. Special super mario has no place either but a boxed punchout should be included. Please submit your information.
