In terms of sheer value and "wow" factor, I don't know how anything could eclipse the collection of CJs that walked into the National in 2004 and wound up being auctioned by Mastro.
In terms of what's interesting, I'm always drawn to finds of really rare, one-of-a-kind items that show up in insane places. The New York Knickerbockers photo from 1845-50 that was discovered in the attic of a cottage in upstate New York comes to mind. Not the most valuable piece by any stretch, but what a story! I love that stuff.
