Funny, the gaming products that I think are quite cool are the ones I almost never use:
1. Aria and Aria Worlds: lovely flavor and impressive scope - too bad about the complicated rules. I might mine it for ideas when creating a setting, though.
2. Lost Souls: you play ghosts. The coolest thing about it are the random death tables (broken down by profession in life) so you know how you died.
3. Maelstrom: An single-book role-playing game set in medieval Europe. Had an impressive list of herbs and the game effects.

Without a doubt, it's Castle Amber for OD&D. Follow that with the few remaining bits and pieces that I have left from my older brother's AD&D Conan boxed set.
I'm also quite fond of my British (?) edition of the Red Basic set, which was one small book. I called it "The Bible." Now it's "Chairman Gygax's Red Book."

Some of my most prized gaming stuff:
- Complete Ars Magica collection from 1st-4th edition.
- The two harbound Realms of Chaos books from GW, along with my hardbound Warhammer FRP. I think I also have almost all the old WHFRP books and modules- great stuff!
- Complete collection of classic Deadlands stuff.
- Near complete collection of Call of Cthulhu stuff from Pagan and Chaosium (all I am lacking is Horror on the Orient Express). Also the 20th Anniversary CoC book- its gorgeous!
- Thieves World boxed set and Companion, and the Cities sourcebook.
- 1st printing Deities & Demigod w/ Cthulhu/Elric.
- 1st printing AD&D DMG signed by Gary Gygax!
- Complete set of all the Greyhawk stuff over the years.
- My AD&D 2E Historical Reference books (the greenbacks).
- My 7 and 16 sided dice (in addition to the more mundane 30 and 100 sided). Also my killer purple 20 sider from my 1st year of gaming- one of those old ones you had to color in the numbers with crayons (silver on this one) and that has no sharp edges left- it only comes out for rare occasions, and always seems to roll what I need it to!
- My d20 collection, most treasured stuff being Midnight (& sourcebooks), Darwin's World stuff, Grim Tales, Conan D20, anything Green Ronin, FFG sourcebooks, MEG stuff, and Necromancer Games modules.
