It's hard to believe it has been 20 years since "The Office" debuted on American television.

The mockumentary-style show was not only one of the most beloved shows of the 21st century, it also set the table for many of the best series of the last two decades.

To celebrate the anniversary of the show, cllct counts down 10 of the greatest "Office" collectibles.

1. Michael Scott’s “St. Pauli Girl” beer neon sign

From one of the most beloved episodes in the series, “Dinner Party,” Michael’s St. Pauli Girl beer sign sparked an argument between Michael (Steve Carell) and Jan (Melora Hardin), culminating in Jan throwing one of his Dundee awards at his “plasma” TV. The sign sold for $14,000 in 2018
