THE CROWN JEWELS IN YOUR COLLECTION?

[Sinistron]

What would be the three "Crown Jewels" in your collection?  PCE CD games that combine expense, enjoyment, and rarity/acquisition? 

Furthermore- which would be the three "Tiara Jewels" in your collection?  PCE hucard games with the same requirements as above?

only three each fellas!  We know some of you can list twenty seven crown jewels- keep it shipshape!  And others- don't feel too overwhelmed by the big dogs' entries- no right and wrong answers kids!

I'll start- 
CDs- Sapphire (bootleg), Dungeon Explorer II, and Dracula X.
Hueys- Coryoon, Lady Sword, and Photo Boy.

This will also reflect games that I've bought but have yet to acquire.

CDROMs:
Exile (in possession, one of my favorite games of all time...cost me $80)
Vasteel (on the way, about the only strategy game I can stand, and the music kicks ass)
Ys I & II (in possession...like most older players, I have fond memories of this game and will still play through it from time to time...bought new from TZD several years ago)

Honorable Mention: Gate Of Thunder, It Came From The Desert, Cosmic Fantasy 2.

Carts:
Air Zonk (in possession, many fond memories of this game...cost me $43)
Cadash (on the way, another memory lane game, played this one for hours on end with all the different characters, even named a company after it!)
Neutopia (on the way, the real reason I got into the Turbo in the first place...)

Honorable Mention: Neutopia II, Dead Moon, Sinistron, Turrican.

Too many, too many...
CD-Roms: Sapphire (original); Tenchi O Kurau; Mad Stalker
(I would have said Drac X, Dungeon Explorer II and Beyond Shadowgate... Guilty Pleasure being Riot Zone)

HuCards: Soldier Blade, Shockman (I have the complete series. ), Aldynes (does this count?)
Honorable Mentions: Salamander (the first PCE game I had bought, had to rebuy at a later time).

[Sinistron]

As far as monetary value, some of the big items I have are:

Sapphire -the real deal
