I would add the "optionals" like the Fidelity/NOVAG printers! I'd love to have
one of those! Even stuff that's not really "rarity" like a plexiglass cover for
the Excalibur Mirage, I can't find :(

That reminded me of Apple collectors. Old Macs are not hard to find but I
remember an auction for a box, just the box!, of an old Mac: it reached
something close to 3 digits I believe!
