I know this totally makes me "that guy", but it could very well be a signed first edition of a specific translation of the Iliad.

I don't think I know anyone who cares that much about a translator's signature, but who knows?

The Iliad is actually a great example for this, because the recent translation of it by Emily Wilson received a lot of praise, and I know a few people who work in that field and would of be extatic to have a signed copy of it.
