Yesterday I went out into the fray of returns and holiday giftcards to spend a little of my Christmas money on a game. I went to a used game store here called The Exchange as I had received an extra copy of a game as a gift that I wanted to sell. I browsed the selection and ended up picking out Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning with a really nice hardcover strategy guide. As I checked out I saw it.

Under the glass case of the front counter was a special edition Final Fantasy II Japanese Wonderswan. It was still sealed in a box and the graphics on it looked so crisp. It had a price of 50$ and I so badly wanted to pick it up. Final Fantasy is my favorite series and I knew I'd never see something like that again.

I didn't do it though. Despite knowing that it would be a crown jewel in my collection I let it go. I'm at the point where I need money for other obligations and not for things to sit on my shelf. I wasn't upset though, It was great just knowing that something like that is around here in the middle of suburbia.

What's the biggest you regret you have from a collection point of view? Or more positively whats your crown jewel in the collection?
