Most prized Goo possession?

I don't really own anything that rare from the Goo's, but I do have a few things that I have had for awhile that hold a lot of value.
First is my Gutterflower necklace. I can't even remember when I got it. My mother got it for me at some point when I was about 13 or 14 (I am now 18, 19 soon!) and I have had it ever since. I loved that thing for so long, and wore it proudly everyday for 2-3 years. Eventually I did stop wearing it for some reason.
I lost it for a year or two, and was very sad to see it had gone missing. About two years ago though, I found it when I was cleaning out my dresser. I never did start wearing it again, but I have always had it (hanging on my left bedpost, as I said in another thread).
Some other things I own that have sentiment are
1) The poster I made when I saw the goo's for the first time in Halifax. It said "I love Polish Buns" which me and my friend though was a clever thing to write after seeing the Polish sausage sign. John laughed at it and made a comment during "Name" when we were in the front row. We made eye contact, I nearly died. I also had this moment with Robby while he was basically playing bass to me, I can't even remember what sort of faces I must have been making at him, but he was laughing at me and doing faces back, it probably looked like I was having a stroke.
2) Other things from the show - a tshirt I got, the ticket from the show, my "costume" (me and my friend dressed up in goo themed colors), a guitar pic that my friend caught which she made into a necklace.
So thats my big story.

My most prized Goo possession is a vintage SSCW t-shirt signed by John, Robby and Mike. A dear friend gave it to me since she knew SSCW was my favorite album. I will treasure that shirt forever ... even if it's 2-3 sizes too big 
I have other t-shirts and various picks and album flats but nothing compares to the SSCW shirt.

Aside from bootlegs/interviews/video, I'm not huge on collecting GGD related possessions. That being said, there have always been 3 items I wanted to have. I currently have two of them.
1. An original red cover cd pressing of the first album
2. The promo SSCW wax
I'm not identifying the third item until I have it and I kind of doubt I will ever get it.

Well now since you won't tell me I just have to know 
How could I forget about all the b-sides and bootlegs. Those are pretty awesome too.

Yes! Love those. Thank god for torrents. I downloaded this torrent that was supposedly an entire discography plus some "rare" things. It was missing usually a few songs from all the albums, but there was some rare versions of songs that I have never heard before, so it was cool.

mine would be a fender guitar that was signed by the guys. They signed it twice because they had a black marker and it was a black guitar, so they signed the white pick guard instead.... then they realized that the pick guard had a tear off plastic wrap on it so it wouldn't get scratched, so they got a gold marker and signed the body of the guitar!
the other would be a sealed vinyl of their first album, the red cover one!

"Soon we realized that after doing this together for so long, we developed some talents that as a group tend to come naturally. We realized that we had a rapport among us and in that rapport was power.
"And we realized that our day jobs (as the Goo Goo Dolls) didn't suck as bad as we had thought," he said, laughing (Robby).

I remember when you got that guitar signed. I'm pretty sure you posted all about it here. I remember how excited you were. What year was that?

Seems a bit extreme but when I was in Canada I got the Gutterflower logo tattooed on my back below my neck. Symbolises a good year in my life and that's how I'll remember it...
