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.

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
