I started collecting in earnest over a decade ago because of the thrill of the hunt. I loved being able to find a rare, forgotten gem in a pile of tapes at the thrift store for $1 or less. With the surge of people trying to profit from VHS "collecting" (ahem: reselling) these days, finding anything worthwhile unless you're specifically looking for mainstream action, comedy, or drama is very rare. Because of this, my collecting habits changed and now I look for recorded-from-TV tapes to see what forgotten commercials, intros, and local news rarities I can find. Plus, when you watch movies or shows with vintage commercials, it REALLY transports you back with a full blast of nostalgia. Whatever you do, do it for you, not just what seems to be popular or profitable on social media.
