Roblox's rarest admin-exclusive Limiteds trace back to two early staff members: John Shedletsky, better known by his old account name Telamon, and a 2010 summer intern named Socom1880. Five items carry their names today (Telamon Hair, Telamon's Chicken Suit, Telamonster: the Chaos Edge, Telamon's Foe Hammer, and Gaze of Socom1880), and all five are still tradable Limiteds with real market history, not deleted relics. Ranked by trader consensus, Telamon Hair leads the group despite carrying a lower RAP than Telamonster, a gap worth understanding before anyone chases one of these.
Who Were Telamon and Socom1880?
Telamon was the account name John Shedletsky used from 2006 through early 2012. Shedletsky was one of Roblox's earliest employees and served as the company's Creative Director from 2006 until 2014, and his account became something like a mascot for the platform in its first decade. That was enough for Roblox to mint a run of items carrying his name, some tied to his in-game weapon of choice and others to running jokes from the community.
Socom1880 has a smaller but stranger footnote. According to the Roblox Wiki, he was a Roblox intern in 2010 whose job included building hats and gear, and the item made in his honor, Gaze of Socom1880, describes him as having "seen terrible things" that force him to hide his face. Per the same community-maintained history, his account was later compromised, and whoever took it over made off with most of his personal item collection, including his own namesake hat. That's community-documented lore rather than an officially confirmed Roblox account of the incident, but it's the story collectors repeat when the item comes up.
Both names now sit in a small, unofficial category: items released to commemorate a specific staff member rather than an event, holiday, or contest. Rbadam's Smokestack Top Hat belongs to the same broader tradition, honoring a different early Roblox figure, and is worth reading alongside this one if you're building a position across the category.
The Telamon Line: Four Items, Four Eras
Telamon's name ended up on four separate catalog items released across three years, spanning a hairpiece, a mystery-box hat, and two gear weapons.
Telamon Hair (July 23, 2010) is the scarcest of the four. Roblox sold only 35 copies at 5,000 Robux before pulling it, and that ceiling has never moved. With no active resupply mechanism and a fixed 35-copy cap, it behaves like a true grail: thin trading, long stretches with no sales at all, and a lowest ask that sits nowhere near its RAP.
Telamon's Chicken Suit (March 19, 2010) has the opposite profile. It didn't sell for Robux at all: it came packed inside Telamon's Mystery Box, a free box Roblox released that March with just over 2,000 copies, and 2,645 total Chicken Suits eventually reached players. That much larger supply keeps it the most liquid and lowest-priced item in the family by a wide margin, even though it's the oldest Telamon-named catalog item still standing next to Telamon Hair.
Telamonster: the Chaos Edge (September 2012) is a 30,000 Robux gear sword, one of 100 minted. It was built as a usable melee weapon with its own particle effects and abilities, strong enough in its early form that players considered it overpowered, and Roblox reworked its effects and abilities in 2019. It's a different item from the swords covered in our SFOTH sword series history, which are modeled on weapons from Sword Fights on the Heights IV, while Telamonster is a standalone gear release carrying Telamon's name rather than the game's.
Telamon's Foe Hammer (June 2011) is the family's entry-level piece: a 26,100 Robux ranged gear weapon with a run of 258 copies. It's still meaningfully valuable, just the most accessible of the four by a wide margin.
Gaze of Socom1880: The One-Item Line
Gaze of Socom1880 launched August 17, 2009, at 1,000 Robux, and only 31 copies exist today. Roblox's own description frames it as a face covering the intern needed after seeing "terrible things," rendered as a maroon demon mask with tusks and a third eye. Between its tiny original run, its age (it predates every other item in this piece), and the community's hacked-account story attached to it, it trades as one of the more talked-about face items from Roblox's earliest Limited era, even though it never grew into a full series the way Telamon's items did.
Market Snapshot
Ranked by trader consensus rather than raw RAP, since several of these items are old enough and thin enough that RAP lags what a buyer would actually have to pay. Our own live lowest-ask data backs up this ordering directly: it lines up with consensus at every position.
| Item | Released | Launch Price | Copies | Live RAP | Lowest Ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telamon Hair | Jul 23, 2010 | 5,000 R$ | 35 | 696,670 | 25,000,000 |
| Gaze of Socom1880 | Aug 17, 2009 | 1,000 R$ | 31 | 376,064 | 10,000,000 |
| Telamonster: the Chaos Edge | Sep 20, 2012 | 30,000 R$ | 100 | 736,866 | 2,250,000 |
| Telamon's Chicken Suit | Mar 19, 2010 | Free (mystery box) | 2,645 | 547,257 | 567,676 |
| Telamon's Foe Hammer | Jun 10, 2011 | 26,100 R$ | 258 | 66,006 | 195,000 |

Why Telamon Hair Outranks a Higher-RAP Item
This is the clearest case in the whole family. Telamonster: the Chaos Edge carries a higher RAP than Telamon Hair, 736,866 against 696,670, yet the market treats Telamon Hair as the more valuable item by a wide margin, and the live lowest-ask figures above confirm it.
The reason comes back to how RAP is calculated: it's a slow-moving average of actual sales, and with only 35 copies of Telamon Hair in existence, there simply aren't enough sales to keep that average current. A single trade at an unusual price, high or low, sits in the RAP calculation for a long time before enough new sales dilute it. Telamonster has nearly three times as many copies, so its RAP tracks closer to what people are actually paying right now. Telamon Hair's lower copy count is exactly what makes its RAP the least reliable number in this entire table, not the most.
What Drives the Premium on Admin Items
A few things stack together here. First, scarcity: three of the five items sit at or under 100 copies, and Telamon Hair and Gaze of Socom1880 are both under 40. Second, story: these aren't generic recolors tied to a season, they're tied to specific people who worked at Roblox during its first five years, which gives them a documented human history that most Limiteds don't have. Third, age: the oldest item here predates the platform's tenth birthday by more than a decade, which alone puts it ahead of the vast majority of the current catalog.
That combination, tiny supply plus a real historical hook plus genuine age, is the same formula behind most items that trade well above their RAP. It's not unique to admin items, but this family shows it about as clearly as any line on the platform.
A Collector's Outlook
These five items reward patience more than speed. Thin trading means it can take weeks or months to find a real buyer or seller at a fair price, and the RAP figures above should be read as a floor reference rather than a target, especially for Telamon Hair and Gaze of Socom1880. Anyone building a position here should expect low liquidity and be prepared to hold. This isn't financial advice, and prices on items this thin can move sharply on a single sale in either direction.
Traders who want to watch this category alongside broader classic gear can screen it on the items leaderboard, and Classic Limited Gear or the Swords collection are useful starting points for comparing Telamonster and Telamon's Foe Hammer against the rest of the classic weapon market. Live asks across a whole portfolio, including thin items like these, are easiest to track through the Reseller Terminal.
FAQ
What are Roblox's admin-exclusive items?
They're Limiteds Roblox released to commemorate specific staff members rather than a holiday or event. The best-known examples are the four Telamon-named items covered here, Gaze of Socom1880, and Rbadam's Smokestack Top Hat.
Who is Telamon?
Telamon is the old account name of John Shedletsky, one of Roblox's earliest employees and its Creative Director from 2006 to 2014. He later shifted to the account name Shedletsky.
Why does Telamon Hair trade above Telamonster despite a lower RAP?
Telamon Hair has only 35 copies against Telamonster's 100, so far fewer sales occur to keep its RAP current. Trader consensus and our own live lowest-ask data both rank Telamon Hair well above Telamonster, even though Telamonster's RAP is technically higher.
Is Telamon's Chicken Suit rare?
Not compared to the rest of this family. With 2,645 copies in circulation, it's the most common and most liquid item on this list by a wide margin, which keeps its price far below the others despite being one of the oldest.
What happened to Socom1880's account?
According to Roblox Wiki community history, his account was compromised at some point after 2010 and the person who took it over kept most of his items, including his own Gaze of Socom1880. This isn't independently confirmed by Roblox and should be treated as community-documented lore rather than verified fact.
