I currently have 981 chips in my collection. Allot of them are pretty common, but some are rare, and a few are extremely rare. Some of the really rare one are Intel - MD3002/C and MC3003/C. The rarest one I own is the MOS - MCS6501. By court order all of these chip where required to be destroyed. There are probably less than 10 in existence.
One of my favorite families is the AMD - Am2900 family. It is a bit-slice processor have the ability to be joined together to create a data-width as large as desired. The processors is split into multiple chips such as an ALU and micro-program control unit.
