For example, do you have particular artist-doodled proofs, altered/personalized cards, or original art that nobody else does? Or do you have more of any particular card than any other collection or store inventory in the world?

It was over 300,000+ cards at one time and now closer to 150,000 :0) I continue to purge it as I have time and more mindful of what the final look will be.

Not sure how unique, but I have 3 playsets of 40 RV, FBB and UL duals and 1 set each of Beta to Planeshift (no Alpha).

I do have some of the WOTC storage boxes in it that are very hard to find and some prints from the artists (Natural Selection, Demonic Tutor, Hurk's recall, Martyr's Cry) that I have picked up along the years when I see them.

I do have a bunch of art proofs, some with artist alters or drawings on the back. I've got a few lower-end misprints and a bunch of signed stuff as well.

The one part of my collection that is really special (to me anyways) is that when Prophecy first came out I absolutely loved the Avatars. I proceeded to collect one of each non-foil, foil, and the pre-release Avatar of Hope and then got rk Post to sign them. I also purchased a set of the art proofs from him and commissioned sketches of each on blank Pro-Tour cards. Recently, I've decided to 'catch up' on the reprints (though only the rk Post art). I've acquired signed versions of each of the Avatar of Woe reprints and am in the process of getting a hold of foil and non-foil versions of War and Might reprints. I've also acquired a Pro-Tour foil Avatar of Woe so I'm almost again at a complete set of rk Post avatar cards. Are they worth much? Nope. Do I care? Nope, they're still favorites of mine and I'm pretty happy with them.

Thanks,
Jazaray

I also have a large land "collection" but I am always ready to sell the lands for profits, so I guess they are more of "trading fodder" instead of "collection" even though the numbers can be large?

HERE is a picture of half of them (the other half are on the reverse side of the pages) from awhile back, when I had slightly fewer.

Haha I plan on paying him quite a nice premium though, so maybe we'll be able to work something out.

I had over 500+ of these at one time. I've gotten rid of about 200 (mostly to MTDetermine).
