What is the most unexpectedly rare thing in your collection?
NeoMyGeos:
By this I mean besides obvious things like limited edition system variants or the like. I mean things you have in your collection that you were possibly surprised to learn was actually very valuable.
In my case it's Felix the Cat on NES: I bought it for 20 bucks at a mom and pop store like four years ago; and I recently learned that on eBay it's going up to 100 bucks easy

The most recent one for me would be Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ on the DS. I picked it up a while back after hearing it was a bit of a hidden gem. Think I paid maybe $20 for it CIB and now it's around $100. Same story for Drone Tactics for the DS also.
Nacho3:
I have a copy of Street Fighter Zero 3 on the Saturn that I bought from ebay many years ago. I only bought it because I went through a faze where I was buying a bunch of Japan only releases and got a lot for super cheap. It goes for over $200 now and I probably paid less than $100 for a bunch of games.

R-Type III on the SNES. I have no idea how I got it. I suspect I got it from when I fixed a couple systems for a guy. Guy had 2 SNES a NES and a Genesis, none worked. If I fixed him a SNES and NES, I could keep the second SNES and the Genesis, with all Genesis games. I got a couple SNES games, I suspect that was one of them.
NeoMyGeos:
I've been truly buckling down and organizing my collection and I've come across a few more:
Megaman 8 for the Sega Saturn CIB: I can't remember WHEN I got it, but I got it for roughly 80 bucks some time ago. I look now and it's shot up to nearly 300 bucks!
Mario Party CIB: I got it for about 30 bucks, and now it's around 80 bucks
Makes me wish I had cleaned out my mom and pop store back when I had more money to spare.
Still! I'm extremely satisfied with what I have
