Prized Comic Possession

What would you say is your prized possession in your TMNT comic collection?

Mine would have to be a first printing of TMNT vol. 1 issue 4 signed by Kev and Pete.
I remember years ago working for a short time at a comic store just sorting through the guy's comic boxes and organizing them. As I was looking through the boxes, I found a small box filled with issues of TMNT vol. 1 and Tales of the TMNT vol. 1 inside. I found that issue, issue 4, noticing a sticker on the jacket that said "signed by artists inside!" and asked the guy how much he wanted for it. The dude said "take it, it's yours." Each day I worked after that I'd choose an issue from the box and he'd let me take one till eventually he just sold the whole box to me for like 20 bucks. That's how I got most of my Mirage comics.
So not only is that comic the only one I've got signed by both Kev and Pete, but it brings back fond memories of working at that comic store, plus it's a great ish'.
