What media have you found in best quality or even only with the methods of the high seas?

I am not looking for: "I only use my super jellyfin and so on setup because its almost free". But rather I want to hear if you found rare pieces of media which are maybe even lost otherwise.

The original DVD release of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff of Godzilla vs Megalon. MST3K licensed the film from a company that did not actually own the rights to it, and only discovered when Toho sent out a cease and desist following the release of MST3K volume 10. Production was stopped, but a few hundred copies were still sold.

Funnily enough some of those copies were actually sold to Blockbuster, who somehow were allowed to keep renting them out even after the C&D went into effect. I made sure to rent a copy ASAP once I found out.

Gotta love old school MST3K! Our favorite is I was A Teenage Werewolf. He's going for the milk!
