There's several different ways I could list that.
This is my personal opinion "Cool Factor" ranking list. I've also taken into account whether or not it's worthwhile to pursue a rarer version of something you already own a common version of.
1.) Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana LP
2.) Zechhoushu audio cassette(s) triple-package
3.) Gips / Tsumi to Batsu cardboard zero-press CDs double-package
4.) Yuuhatsu Orgasm fan-lottery VHS
5.) Tomosaka Rie's
Shoujo Robot CD
6.) Mayonaka wa Junketsu LP
7.) Heart Bazaar's
Baobob CD
8.) Electric Mole limited DVD
9.) Seteiki Healing first-press DVDs
10.) Gunjou Biyori + Sounan LP
Ranked from a sealed rarity standpoint, of how often I've seen them so far, compromised with how decreasingly often I expect to see them in the future.
1.) Yuuhatsu Orgasm fan-lottery VHS
2.) Shouso Strip audio cassette
3.) Zechhoushu audio cassette(s) triple-package
4.) Tomosaka Rie's
Shoujo Robot CD
5.) Sweets for my SPITZ first-press CD
6.) Tomosaka Rie's
Murasaki CD
7.) Shouso Strip limited CD
8.) Seteiki Healing volumes 1 or 2
9.) Gunjou Biyori + Sounan LP
10.) Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana LP
Rarest nonsealed items I've ever seen, including some stuff that seemingly doesn't exist as sealed anywhere anymore.
1.) Koufukuron audio cassette
2.) Yuuhatsu Orgasm fan-lottery VHS
3.) Muzai Moratorium audio cassette
4.) Ichigo-ichie Sweets for my SPITZ LP
5.) Zechhoushu audio cassette(s) triple-package
6.) Gips / Tsumi to Batsu audio cassettes double-package
7.) Gips / Tsumi to Batsu cardboard zero-press CDs double-package
8.) Karisome Otome (DEATH JAZZ ver.) promo CD
9.) Dynamite Out promo CD
10.) Heart Bazaar's
Baobob CD
Undervalued bargains on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, regularly available. Ranked not necessarily from least expensive to most expensive, or the coolest, but mainly on just how much consistently cheaper and available these products are, compared to where I feel they
should be.
1.) Tomosaka Rie's
Shoujo Robot CD (used)
2.) Taniguchi Takashi's
becoming CD (used)
3.) Shouso Strip limited CD (used)
4.) Mayonaka wa Junketsu LP (in any condition)
5.) Shiina Ringo first-press singles CDs (any used)
6.) Tokyo Jihen Phase 1 first-press CDs (any used)
7.) Dynamite Out! first-press DVD (used)
8.) Electric Mole limited DVD (used)

I would give some away if I'd still have at least five or ten leftovers to hoard. But that's just me. I'd probably stuff them with Rockin' on Japan issues, or all my invoices from Amazon.co.jp, CD Japan, HMV Japan, Tower.jp, and YesAsia.

I'm hoping that's what CD Japan will do with my order when they ship it in a few days. I ordered two copies of each of the re-releases (one to open and one to hoard), and KSK is the only one on the anniversary marketing campaign list. The latest 'new' releases aren't on the list either. If CD Japan gave me one anniversary folder per Shiina Ringo product, I would have ten folders coming to me. I'll know within a week.
