Peter, I rarely disagree with you, but I disagree with you here.
Heritage did not create this market. VHS tapes were getting a lot of
money before HA ever entered the field.
HA is reactive, not creative. They saw a burgeoning market, and they
joined in to the hobby, because after all - they are a hobby auction
site, and there was already a lot of money on the table
the most valuable VHS is a disney Beauty & the Beast tape, which sold
for almost a quarter mil years before HA ever looked at VHS collecting
that Youtube video is total bullshit
If HA was able to create a market as you think, then movie posters would
be going crazy, which we both know is not the case, unfortunately.

Scott the reason some people are buying these is because heritage is
“creating” a market for them.
And people are stupid.

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
