No pics here, either....but I still am most fond of my autographed and rare I Drink Your Blood dvd.
In second place would be my german release of Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace.....Blutige Seide. Cased in black velvet and a reference quality transfer. Also includes some very rare trailers, essential for any Bava fan.

While not exactly an OOP "treasure", this is my most treasured DVD: I met Lana Clarkson during Comic-Con. She signed my Barbarian Queen DVD. She was just the sweetest person to meet. I keep the pic of her signing as my "insert".
A few months later she was murdered by Phil Spector (well, the trial is still going)

I don't know if there's any title that I treasure with Gollum-like levels of avarice, but I'll try to play along:
Also, to the OP: you can't really covet a title that's already in your collection. Your question should read, "What DVD in your collection do others covet most?"
- Black Mask (uncut Taiwanese version)
- the previously mentioned Buffy Chosen Collection box set
- Gatchaman Collection box sets from ADV Films
- Hero (Korean R3 Ultimate Edition)
- Invader Zim series box set from Media Blasters
- Kill Bill, Volume 1 (Japanese R2 standard edition)
- Puni Puni Poemy autographed by director Shinichi Watanabe
- RoboCop (uncut Criterion Collection edition)
- Silence of the Lambs (Criterion Collection edition)
- Superdimensional Fortress Marcross box sets from Animeigo

I hope that's not in your bedroom. That'd be freaky as hell, late at night with the lights off..

Sonny from I, Robot, there's no competition. I've got three now, I need one more and I'll be happy. They'll be on display (all in a row) with blue LED backlighting in my dedicated HT (hopefully this summer).
I love the Hand of Doom, too. It's actually a painted foam costume piece you can put your hand in, but it looks alot nicer than a $30 Halloween prop.
I'm finally getting Final Battle Kroenen, too! $40 @ sideshowtoy, the looong waitlist finally converted to an order, so the Hellboy 12" trio is now complete. I'm not a huge action figure/collection guy, simply because that money can buy a small stack of DVDs, but I do like these.

The two treasures out of all my OOP discs is MST3K the movie and This is Spinal Tap Criterion. MST3K will hopefully get a better release someday, but most of the extra stuff on Spinal Tap will probably not see the light of day again so I really treasure that one most of all.
