What are some hidden gems and rare pieces of media? Maybe even deleted or lost on all legal distribution platforms? - eviltoast

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.

    Look up 4k77 if you haven’t already. Team negative1 has been transferring and restoring copies of the original reels. The are also working on 4k80 and 4k83. I believe that 4k77 and 4k83 are completed and there are rough copies of 4k80.
