My favourite board game, and a tour favourite among many of the entourage, backgammon. The only official travel set ever made! Literally one in the world and previously on display at exhibitionism in London's Saatchi Gallery.

Captain! Perhaps my post was confusing... The set was previously on display in the Saatchi Gallery shop. It was a piece of UK only official merchandise and this is the display set. At a price tag of £2,500 no sets were sold making this the only one ever made :-)
Here is the World Championship sized set which per inch was a good deal cheaper at £4,100. Again this is the only one ever made. Of course both no reside in my private museum (which as ever I enjoy opening to interested parties). Several other members here have already been but it continually grows and I am refreshing my displays constantly. Recent new additions include many of Ronnie's New Barbarian's lyrics and also a couple of pages of Keith lyrics. I am afraid the really great stuff I save for in person visitors to the museum only. Especially the 100's of unpublished items.

With all respect, cuttings from Rolling Stone are not really rarities. From your other contribution(s) you've obviously got some nice unique things, so photos of those would be more apt. eg The passport you mention.

Palace Revolution 2000 said: "Your collection is beyond words. I meant to say that re. the Backgammon set, but this set of picks are so funny. Are they Keith, Ron or Jagger?
The thing is- yours is surely the biggest, deepest collection on the planet. Only Wyman came close, and he has published his stuff, right?
Now I find myself wondering about the rarities you only show visitors."
Mick usually uses generic picks, the 2006 city picks were used by Keith and Ronnie. However, the stock control was never that perfect and when you caught one in a particular city is was often not the right one! Sadly not all of these are hand caught (although I'm well over 50 on that count), many of these I have traded with friends with the ambition of getting all the cities. I have another stash of city picks that may well have some of my missing cities in my warehouse but picks really are like needles in a haystack.
Several of the handwritten letters and early posters in Bill's book were actually mine (used completely without permission or credit).
You should visit, I am currently rebuilding my displays having now filled every wall with a glass cabinet. There are at least 1,000 things that I will never post here but still lots more to post too... I am particularly partial to handwritten stuff, lyrics, letters etc... (particularly to each other).

Forgot who the other VW collector is here. But here's a link to the suspenders. They're very expensive though.

There was some nice graphics on the Licks Tour. One of my favorites is the Sheeban Pass. Did you know there are 2 different ones? Some of your laminates I haven't seen. Especially the cut off round ones. Cheers!
