The subject says what i want to know. I found 4 of them and like to know which place they should get in my collection. How rare/commeon/uncommon/collectable are they? Can this be expressed in $? I'm not quite sure if I'm trading, depends on what I may get for them probably.

No, the first 16-bit microprocessor is the extremely rare PACE chip from National Semiconductor:

As for the LSI-11 chipset, it was made in rather large quantities, so they're not terribly uncommon - but they might be worth something to the DEC collectors out there.

That printing and font selection reminded me of my first dot matrix printer and all its crazy fonts. It had a colour ribbon as well Wink
