      Subjective, but a specific item of interest or missing part of a collection that has proven difficult to acquire.

      Books no longer in circulation or of a particular niche/rarity, episodes of an show, a version of a song or media that was once available in limited form and removed from the source, bootleg recordings.

      Hope this gives useful context.

      Welcome.

      Anything you can use some help to find?
