VHS collecting

Are you one of these people? If not, do you know one? Could you have ever envisioned the arrival of such a subculture? Did you think your Disney Diamond Edition videocassettes were going to one day net you millions? It seems it's mostly horror titles that are highly sought after.

What’s the point? The last VHS tape was manufactured almost 20 years ago meaning that most VHS tapes won’t even play anymore.

I really liked those plastic shells Disney movies came in.

R3 in Europe the standard packaging was hard plastic clamshell cases with inserts. The US got the cheap cardboard slide out cases.

The first release "Halloween" ever got on VHS had a major typo (should have been "MEDIA", not "MEDA") and is worth insane amounts of money.

The Disney VHS tapes of the '90s had the Beanie Baby effect surrounding them for some time, but the reality is that they were so mass-produced that most of them aren't really worth anything. For the most part, it's the more obscure stuff that had small print runs that film/media nerds place high value on.
