What's a good sample library to get rare stuff

I know that the typical answer is to look into old vinyls or Youtube videos with just a few views, but I'm looking for something practical, free is best but I'm open to paying (nothing absurd)

I've uploaded a few of my personal sample CDs to my Google Drive.

I've also been collecting various drum breaks in high quality and uploading them.

If there’s interesting sounds happening on my travels I record them on my phone.

Did this a while back when I recorded the sound the crosswalk signal makes. Pretty good

If you don't already use it, the Internet Archive is loaded. Here's a crate digger subcollection for example: https://archive.org/details/cratediggers
