I'm not necessarily talking about your favourite, the most expensive or most rare. Just something that brings a smile to your face, warms the cockles and let's you wallow in nostalgia, even just the thought of it.
For me it's my Dengar mailer I picked up in a job lot a couple of weeks back. I was only born in '79 but I was into Star Wars from age 3 (so I'm told) so I only have vague memories of getting this but cant stop smiling very time I see it now.
My mum was over today and I showed it to her. She remembered cutting the cards and sending off it. Randomly 2 were delivered. She opened one and gave it to me to play with and the other lived in our junk draw in the kitchen for years but she can't remember what happened to it. (Im not holding out any hope of finding it, my dad was a ruthless bastard when it came to throwing out toys.) It was great though hearing her talk about it, she also told me unprompted my Ackbar was a mailer, shocked she knew his name. Something else to add to my most wanted list.
