the ones that get graded have specific characteristics, with the main
one being "still sealed"
open packages do not have near the same values.
personally made tapes have no value
the right versions of Star Wars for instance sell for $5k-100k, but they
are still sealed. Opened the same tapes sell for 1% of these values, or less

Surely not *all* VHS tapes are gaining in value.
If that’s really true perhaps it’s time for me to rethink my plan to
give them away to some youngster in a VHS Facebook group rather than
sitting them out with the trash. I have boxes of the blasted things,
including those that belonged to my parents. Plus boxes of
home-recorded VHS tapes dating back to the very early 1980’s. And
let’s not even mention the boxes of Laserdiscs and LP’s…with a few
cassettes and 45’s, too. (Sorry no 8-tracks! 😊)
I can’t imagine why anyone would want old lousy picture quality VHS
tapes. Even harder to imagine is someone shelling out much cash for
them. There really is a sucker born….well you know the rest.

posters are static in value, or worse, declining. it's a small hobby,
younger people don't really care, and much of what more modern
audiences want in posters are too cheap to bother with.
on the other hand, vhs & video games are ascendant & the auctions beat
poster auction totals hands-down.
it's purely a money equation, that posters are dying, and vhs are gaining

I've seen Buck Jones posters and owned Gloria Swanson posters
- I think I'd rather have the gaming cartridges if we are
looking at them as collectibles.

Glenn,
CGC is grading video cassettes.
Here is a link:

I am still suspect of them as a collectible, but there are
people out there with stupid money, proven by some of the
prices for Gaming cartridges.
A new generation…………who have never had the joy of seeing a
quality stone litho of a Columbia Buck Jones poster or a
Gloria Swanson from Paramount
Who am i kidding, they’ve never heard of Gloria Swanson
or Buck Jones.

Hello All -
I have a, still mostly sealed, VHS tape from the original
video release of BATMAN (1989). It was the first tape
released in LA at the Sunset Blvd Tower Records location.
There's way more to this story but the point is...
*Where is the best place to get a VHS tape graded and how
much does it cost?*
Thanks in advance for your help.
Happy, Healthy and Successful New Year to all -
Glenn
