A Long Overdue VHS Update (May 2024)

[@DBZimran]

Sun bleaching is a nightmare! Keep the updates coming sir! Also bring back video memories! 🎉🎉

I think my copy of Trust Thomas had the sticker at the top, but it had the re-narrations. On a side note my VHS are all underneath my house so don't have to worry there ....

Yes sun fading can be a bugger and some cases can get it worse then others. A couple of years ago I had to move my Classic Doctor Who DVD collection as some of the cases started showing sun fading, nowhere near as bad as those cases. They had thankfully just started (you have to take the sleeve out and properly examine it to see a difference in the colour) but I moved them before it became an issue. It mostly affected the top part of the spine and not really the bottom (though part of my copy of The Seeds of Death, a Patrick Troughton serial, was slightly caught at the bottom but it's not bad enough as to need replacing). Ironically enough I now keep some of my videos on that shelf and they thankfully haven't shown signs of fading (I guess it might be down to the printing I dunno).

Now that I'm aware of it, it really sucks, but if you can find a replacement sleeve on eBay for a good price, it's not super bad.

I’ve got the Australian version of Trust Thomas on display on my bedroom shelf

Yeah Sun Bleachings not the best the majority of tapes I took from my Nana’s house had it on the spine, especially her copy of Bambi that thing was strongly faded on the spine though the front and back looked pristine. I’m not replacing them though due to the sentimental purpose they all have

To tell you the truth, I had noticed lately some of your VHS sleeves got faded (I thought, surely the Pokemon VHS sleeves wasn't that bad a few reviews ago). Sometimes on DVD's the fade is that bad even the plastic cover can sometimes brake apart. You might notice if you touch the spine.

[@Gondarth]

I had to go back and check when someone brought it up. I was caught off guard that much...

[@supermariof0521]

I have a copy of "Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost" where the spine is somewhat sun faded.

[@Gondarth]

Oh that sucks. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a new sleeve on eBay...

@@Gondarth I just wish the US got those nice plastic cases the UK got instead of these cardboard sleeves or Styrofoam cases.
