I'm not a collector, but I have run into a type that you might not
have seen...  oriental rug mousepads.  There's the Mouse Rug, but
that's a fake -- just an oriental pattern printed on a plain old
mousepad.  But there are also woven rug type pads, which are far
nicer.  

I got mine from oldcarpet.com.  Gorgeous.  Great people, too.
