I have an autographed Alec Guinness on my obi-wan Unleashed card  I guess my real treasure would be this star wars chess set that came out during revenge of the sith, it was a mixed of old and new characters, and they were unfinished so I took time to paint each one.

Unfortunately after displaying it prominently in the living room for many years, the autographs are starting to fade. I could change the glass out to UV-proof, but that would void the CoA.
If you put a large sheet of 'yellow' gel. the taype that is used on theater lamps that will help protect it from fading. But then everything looks yellowy gold on it...

I'm tempted to buy a Boba Fett poster and get him and the new Boba to both sign it. I think that would be pretty cool.

When the OT was released in the VHS boxset (the release with the headshots of Vader on ANH, Stormtrooper on ESB, and Yoda on RoTJ) they also released a set of commemorative stamps with the covers on them, in shining silver. I still have both sheets of postage stamps in their sleeves, along with the 4 page booklet of little known facts from behind the scenes.

I have a vertical half-sheet poster from the re-re-release of Star Wars from 1982 (I think it was '82). On the bottom right hand corner is a little flag stating "watch for the trailer for Revenge of the Jedi".
The poster has been signed, in person with me there, by:
Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia)
Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian)
Anthony Daniels (C-3PO)
Kenny Baker (R2-D2)
David Prowse (Darth Vader)
Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca)
Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett)
Richard LeParmentier (Admiral Motti)
Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter)

I'd say my unopened vintage Chewbacca action figure from Return of the Jedi (1983). He remains my favorite character from the OT, and was my favorite SW toy when I was a kid. Minis-wise, definately the collossal AT-AT.

from 1995 to 2005 I collected every 3 3/4 " figure I could get needless to say i had 10 years complete along with 70% of the variations. Thats not my crown jewel though. Here is the story
I needed a 1997 Darth Vader w/ Removable helmet on the green card with the movie slide and has the red colored lightsaber. Well you see the one I have has a clear lightsaber.
Well I was looking around ebay about 1998 time and thought I found one and the bidding went to 35 bucks with shipping and I won. Well i figured I over payed by 15 bucks but I wanted it.
Well when i got it I was surprised for it was the wrong figure. I got the Star Wars Unleashed 10" statue/figure with removable helmet. When I checked the listing again I saw I bid on the wrong item. It is so cool looking.
I won't say what its worth but its a good deal more then I paid at this point. It is my favorite piece at the moment followed closely by the above listed clear lightsaber piece. At this point I still don't have the red lightsaber version.

I'm currently on vacation in Orlando and attended the Star Wars Weekends festival at Hollywood Studios. I bought the official poster for the event (which features Boba Fett), and then got Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett), Daniel Logan (young Boba), and Jeremy Bulloch (original Boba) to sign it--completing the triumvirate of Star Wars movie Fetts! It should look great framed in my media room!

I'm more of an EU fan, so the highlights are a Corran Horn CCG card signed by Michael Stackpole and Thrawn, Pellaeon, and Chimera cards signed by Timothy Zahn.
If Matthew Stover ever went to Dragoncon I would gleefully ask him to sign Ganner or Jacen's card, along with a copy of Blade of Tyshalle.

They're not worth much, but, when me and my "bipolar ex" (we were never officially dating, but we were "together like peas and carrots") broke up, she gave me an original (vintage) novelization of The Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi...
They're my most prized posessions

My autographed pics from Celebration IV ... Jeremy Bulloch and Temuera Morrison (Boba and Jango ... as if you didn't already know that!) were both great guys and was able to chat for a while with them (hit the lines at the right time :) .... And my Carrie Fisher autograph is a huge treasure ... although she didn't understand my "I Survived Order 66" t-shirt! :)
