but they didn't create the VHS market, not by any measure. they just jumped on the bandwagon.

    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

        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

                    CGC is grading video cassettes.

                    Here is a link:

                    https://www.cgchomevideo.com/

                    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
