Hey everyone,

I've been collecting for a few years now but strangely enough the best piece that I own was one of the few that I never had to buy myself--in 2006/2007, just before he announced his candidacy for president, Senator Barack Obama lovingly signed and personalized a copy of his book for me at a Borders bookstore in Chicago! I had no clue that this guy was going to be president, although I admit that I was inspired by his 2004 convention speech. Just the fact that it's personally signed to me makes it the crown jewel of my collection--above even my Beatles signed fan club card!

What are your "Crown Jewels?" I'd love to see em!
