But for me, I think it would be things I made:
I painted a large (maybe 2 1/2 ft by 4 ft) acrylic painting of Beleg's death (from The Silmarillion/The Children of Hurin)
I am writing a literary-ish essay about Doctor Who (now 30 pages single spaced).

Permalink Reply by Elizabeth Gould on October 11, 2012 at 8:37pm My homemade blue Voy/DS9-era star trek uniform, which has been worn in public exactly three times (NYE '09/10, Halloween '10 and Gaelcon '11) along with trill paint to be Jadzia Dax. :)
Competing with that would probably be a piece of paper with a chibi-thulu drawing by John Kovalic, signed, with the comment "I went to Warpcon and all I got was this Chibithulu sketch!" It has a bonus (chibithulu won't attack the owner of this sketch, honest) and I got it laminated too. He guards my dice. Mostly, I got this by asking. John Kovalic is such an institution at Warpcon that there's a running joke that anything you can take away from the Con that *hasn't* been signed by him is probably worth more.
Permalink Reply by Norberta772 on October 14, 2012 at 7:02pm um, probably my Harry Potter book in hebrew... i made my friend get it for me as a bat mitzvah present...
or maybe my hedwig, bertie bots, snitch, time turner, mockingjay, and mirror of erised necklaces and sorting hat earrings...
Permalink Reply by Britt Fields on October 15, 2012 at 11:22am I'm proud to admit that I own a legit piece of the Berlin Wall! ...and that I totally brought it to every history class I had in high school. I got it from a friend of my mom who was in Berlin at the time the wall fell. However, since the wall fell in 1991 and I was only a tiny baby, my mom held on to it until I was a freshman in high school. I will never know why she waited so long to give it to me :/
I also own a replica of a WWII Nazi Germany sword... but I don't remember what division of their military that it's from. I got it as a graduation present from the "alternative to college" program that I went to - where the tradition is to give out a sword after three years of completing the program. I have a fascination with Nazi Germany (in a healthy, pro-awesome, anti-world suck kinda way) and that was the sword my director decided to give me.
Finally, I have an extensive library of Nazi Germany documentaries and books that were acquired numerous different ways.
EDIT: Because I forgot about my other super nerdy item... which I happen to be wearing! It is a shirt that is written almost entirely in chemistry terms :D it says: "We few, we happy few - we band of brothers. For he today that shed his blood with me shall be my brother." (except there's a whole bunch of awesome chemistry stuff on it, I'm just not gonna try to recreate it) Then, on the right sleeve, it has a list of all the Cations (positive ions) with their IUPAC Name/Symbol; on the left sleeve, it has all the Anions (negative ions) with their IUPAC Names/Symbols. The back has everyone who took accelerated chemistry in '07-'08 with their nickname. (I was fortunately named Brittany, so I got Brittany Spears... yay me) I have this shirt because I took the class and forked out the $25 to be a nerdfighter before I even knew what a nerdfighter was!

Permalink Reply by Cori "Free Bird" Rich on October 27, 2012 at 6:29am Probably my Aristotle and Socrates bookends... or my 120-ish pigs (piggy-banks, stuffed animals,that sort of thing). No I'll go with the bookends.
