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.
