Rare texts are kinda my jam, a few highlights in my collection:
A signed first edition of the Necronomicon (it still screams and bleeds)
An early draft of the 10 commandments (before it got narrowed down to just 10)
The treatise between cats and dogs that lead to cats getting litter boxes and dogs getting walks
FYI, a treatise is not the same as a treaty.
