World's Rarest Items: From Comics to Blue Jeans

Filed under: Shopping, Weird & Wonderful, Auctions

When art thieves pull off a daring heist, we're once again reminded of all the valuable treasures locked away in dusty university and museum vaults. This time around it appears that burglars were after ancient Chinese jade, and they must have been very motivated indeed, striking twice in two weeks at two separate universities in the UK.

Our colleagues at Luxist.com takes a peek inside the world of the uncommon and elusive. From wine, coins and jewels to jeans, pets and food -- they reveal the world's rarest items in each of 18 categories. Click through the gallery to see which prized possessions made the list -- and what makes them so special.
