> I dont have one but I saw an ad for a 3d chess set like they use on Star Trek for $195. It had a 3d chess rule book with it.

The Star Trek tiered chess sets appear for auction every so often, but they never sell well with the chess enthusiasts.

In 1998, according to the CHESS magazine I was reading earlier, an indian chess piece, presumed to be a Knight (and, oddly enough for a piece at auction, no provenance) sold for just over 1500 pounds.

Personally I have a Ł10 chess set from WHSmiths and a set of Go stones sold to me for Ł30 in London last year. But then again, I don't really have the capital or desire to invest in antiquities like that...
