A good number of the early ARGs had quite a few physical artifacts.  Chasing 
the Wish, for example, had all sorts of them... disks, paintings, coins, 
letters, etc.  (I have an archive of some of the items here - 
http://www.varin.org/ctw/mailed%20items/ ).  Just off the top of my head I 
can think of at least a few more ARGs from before 2007 that had quite a few 
pieces of ingame swag also - Acheron, Omnifam, Legend of the Sacred Urns, 
Search for E, and Who is Benjamin Stove.
