My "best find" kinda fits in that category, Phil -
ie: something of rarity and interest but also with a particular personal
appeal.
Five years ago I bought two lobbies for the 1922
Canadian silent The Man From Glengarry. Why? Because the film was based on a
best-selling novel by a local author and because I live in Glengarry
County, where the film was set.
In the time since, I've discovered that the film is
lost and there appears to be - so far as I can tell though I'll keep
looking - no other paper extant.
The cards cost me $10 for the pair on eBay and I
have no idea of what their "real" monetary value might be. I just like
'em.

Sometimes the "best" poster find doesn't relate
to dollar value at all. Finding a bargain (i.e. a valuable poster at a cheap
price) has never compared - for me at least - finding something of rarity and
interest, or a piece that has some sort of particular personal appeal.
Sometimes the two go together. They don't always have to.

The Wonderful World of The Brothers Grimm
roadshow Cinerama version poster. Sorry Kirby - it's not for sale! The only
Cinerama version poster I have seen for this movie. I guess all the
collectors are holding on to them.
