Great pulls!

I found blue velvet by david lynch on vhs for 10 cents and its going for almost $100+ on ebay now, the original cover poster too!

As someone from the UK, I find the cardboard boxes bizarre.

Everything proven back in the old days people was never to know about mode switch in VCR players needs cleaning out every now and then now days today people are showing you how to do it how to get on that put down how clean out a mode switch in a VCR player and every other video will come up

People like myself will never buy blue ray movies again Walmart worker people told me blue ray movies don't get scratched up not true they do to just not as fast is a DVD does 😊😊

Vhs tapes more haveing in your home now days y get rid of your free whiching movies not good thinking to get rid of them 😊

Vhs tapes more lasting than people is vhs tapes more replicable than people is

Can you guess what the movie is playing in the background?

Just last week I got mark spiers monsters #1 cover A for a price of $30. Got #2 cover A waiting for me later today

The LG dvd/vcr Model RC689D is an Australian dvd combo vcr, that comes with a digital tuner! Plus on the dvd part, it plays dvds from around the world. Plus it can be hooked up to a full hd smart TV. Having connections to coloured plugs and an HDMI cable. It's a 2012 model!

Dat godzilla doe

Great week of great books, what did I miss? Let me know if I should be reading something not shown.

Where is that store located?

That looks pretty good I’m gonna have to get my hands on an issue.

Earned yourself a subscriber!

Nice finds! I don’t have a store like that here, mainly just antique stores. I personally opened up a booth just for my extra VHS because I pick up so many large lots of off Facebook.

Hello my name is Emery and I an addicted to VHS! 😂 Nice Channel friend.

I got one that might be a collectible not sure. It’s a random 80s cartoon movie that’s not too well known. I got GoBots Battle of the Rock Lords movie. Random but I’m glad I got it cause it don’t look like it’s streaming anywhere

3:50 That depends on which clam-shell case you're talking about and which movies. Ex-hire tapes came in big, puffy, clam-shell cases. Those are usually worth far more than tapes in cardboard boxes, because the ones in cardboard cases weren't made to be played as many times. The physical magnetic tape is thicker in tapes made to hire out and they have much greater density of iron in the tape, because they were made to be played hundreds of times. If you look at the tape in ex-hire tapes, it's almost black, compared to the pale brown colour of the thinner home-release tapes. Aside from the physical differences between the tapes, the nostalgia attached to ex-hire tapes tends to make them far more sort after than home release tapes. BTW. If you want your tapes to last, it's best to store them on their edge, not flat on their back. If they're on their backs (or fronts) gravity pulls the tape down, deforming it. That also makes the tape stretch. I used to have about 700 VHS tapes. I still have about 40-40, but I replaced all the others with discs. I still have all the A Nightmare on Elm Street videos. They're all ex-hire VHS tapes. Each of them sells for many times more than they do on DVD (we can't even get the Blu-Rays of them in Australia, but the first movie is available on UHD). I also still have an original ex-hire tape of Evil Dead 2. I have no idea what that goes for. I have an original ex-hire tape of Hellraiser, but I don't have the sequel. An ex-hire copy of Hellbound: Hellraiser II is exceedingly rare. In Australia, it was released in a double tape case along with the first movie, because Hellraiser II is a direct continuation of Hellraiser. PS. You need to state which country's currency you're talking about. This is the world wide web and about eight or nine countries use dollars.

What was that Superman and Batman cover? 😂 Also excited for Ultimate Wolverine

Those protectors work great

What did you pick up this week?

Thank you for sharing this video, it was incredible.

A couple clamshells that would be cool to see slipcases for would be the Robin Williams version of Flubber and also the 90s Aladdin movie! Some modern releases that have potential for cool vhs cases would be: Ghostbusters Afterlife and Frozen Empire; Star Wars Rogue One; Indiana Jones (crystal skull and dial of destiny); and pretty much anything with Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Iceman, Enter the Fat Dragon, Kung Fu Killer, etc)

Like Alien Romulus, Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 is getting a brand new VHS release!

In Melbourne Australia in 2025, dvd is dirt cheap in Thrift stores. VHS only seems to be on ebay.

I love to see Angels in the outfield from 1994 in a slipcase. Also since baseball season is coming maybe some modern movies such as 42 or Moneyball would be cool to get a slipcase

does Libib have the ability to export your collections to an excel? if so, that would be the perfect collection app. Also love the barcode feature. Also love the cases. I put all of my cartridge based games in similar custom cases, and poly bags for cd/dvd/bluray games. For your question, I would love to see a Gladiator 2 VHS slip box. Would be cool to have next to the original gladiator

"It's not hoarding if you know what you have." LOL so true man! Great job!!

Let me know what book you are reading first!

...habitat for humanity restores have vhs tapes from time to time, you might find some there

i have the Wizard ; & the Army of Darkness on VHS 😁 Maniac too, all of them found in the wild ; pd 25 cent to a dollar for each

Ah, the old VHS days. VHS did serve a purpose for a while. I was lucky enough to work in a mom & pop video shop from ‘93 to ‘95, best job ever for a shiftless twentysomething film nerd! I can understand the vinyl comeback, but VHS coming back is just madness, the quality is just so inferior, unlike vinyl. Don’t get me wrong, I still have both my trusty high end Sony VCR and Pioneer LD player hooked up and ready to roll, recently refurbished even, but I only collect stuff on LD that hasn’t come out on DVD or Blu, and I only collect stuff on VHS that hasn’t come out on LD/DVD/Blu. I’ve upgraded all possible pieces of my collection to at least DVD, and most of it I’ve upgraded to Blu, slowly but surely. I have much more nostalgia for laserdisc than VHS because the video resolution is twice as good as VHS and actually still looks pretty decent on HDTVs, the audio quality is massively better, better than DVDs even, and the player won’t eat your disc. Plus, you get that big lovely LP-style jacket art. I’ve kept most of my LDs for that nostalgia factor, even though I’ve upgraded most of them. I’ll pull them out and watch them from time to time for a retro blast, like last night I watched my LD of the uncut theatrical version of Blood Simple, which is stupidly unavailable on DVD/Blu/4K. But I wouldn’t buy a laserdisc now if I could get it on DVD or Blu. I don’t have enough room for my Blu-rays and DVDs fer chrissakes!

They used to play Santa Claus the movie on TV all the time. Do you like The Rescue ('88)? I'd like to find a tape of that one. Or Robot Jox.

@6:33 not a big fan of Rocky, I suppose.

I'm glad to have found your channel. I've been following you since before you hit your 100th subscriber and each content you put out never disappoints. Thank you for sharing your passion in collecting. I always look forward to your new videos. I hope in the future you can do live streaming and interact with your viewers. Until the next the video, from your avid viewer all the way from Bavaria, Germany! - Gerald

The Batman cards!

It's not hoarding if you know what you have 😄

Looking forward to this one! Love VHS Tapes!

Can you guess the movie playing in the background?
