Yesterday I found 49 sealed TNG VHS collectors cassettes. $2 each. I’m super exited to start watching these

My buddy found similar tapes in his step dads room when we were kids. They all turned out to be his hidden porn collection.

Wow, hidden point! Also how quaint.

Oh hell yeah. I keep getting the urge to collect Star Trek on vhs, but then I remember the effort and space that would take and very carefully take my hand away from the Ebay machine. That said, Star Trek on VHS is what Star Trek is supposed to look like to me. I don't need to be able to see the cracks in the makeup, y'know?
Trichomefactory@reddit (OP)
100% agree. HD is cool, but too good of quality takes away from the allure of analog
radioactive_walrus@reddit
Thank you. Finally, someone who speaks sense

Tbh I feel anything that was filmed onto tape is meant to be enjoyed on tape. One of the main reasons I have amast over 500 VHS cassettes over the past 15 months. Maybe it’s the nostalgia factor coming into play. Same with analog audio

I agree with anslog audio. It just can't be beat!

Wow, VHS... how quaint!

These would look great on the shelf next to my 24-tape box set of Highlander the series.

Around the mid-2000s I was given all of TOS and all of TNG Season 1 by an elderly WW2 veteran who lived at the nursing home my mother worked at and was a *huge* Star Trek fan.

You still have a functioning VCR?
Jean-LucBacardi@reddit
If I found this box, a VCR is the next thing I'd be purchasing.
Warriordance@reddit
I fixed my last one like three times. It finally shit the bed.
beerguyBA@reddit
Not sure about OP but I do, and anyone looking to put on some Trek wants to use it they are welcome to.
SenatorSargeant@reddit
I found the same for the TOS collection, 75% out of the total 40 some odd released tapes
777Danzig@reddit
For some reason, I enjoy watching Season 1 better than several of the stronger seasons.

“I found 36 copies of ‘Code of Honor’ and “The Schizoid Man’! Can you believe they payed me to take them?”

LizaMode@reddit
AMAZING
Zorpfield@reddit
The vhs 📼 skips are what I would remember since my on would tape it and we would rewatch it
HopkinGreenshanks@reddit
What kind of vehicle is that?
Trichomefactory@reddit (OP)
1927 ford model t Tudor sedan
HopkinGreenshanks@reddit
Nice!
jessek@reddit
I wanted those tapes so bad as a kid but they were like $30/ea, a ridiculous amount at the time.
MadMaxBeyondThunder@reddit
These have the theme song playing before and after every commercial in those damn bumpers.
Sufficient_Button_60@reddit
My parents sometimes still have the occasion to watch VHS tapes
Velocityg4@reddit
I've got the complete set of those. Can't remember the last time I watched them. The Blu Ray is just so much nicer looking.
SteelMan0fBerto@reddit
I recently got the Complete Series Blu-ray Collection for my birthday this year, and I’ve slowly been watching through the episodes with my family any time I come over to visit!
It’s a lot of fun. 😁
Alternative-Juice-15@reddit
Yuck don’t watch it on vhs
International-Aide37@reddit
You still own a VHS player? 😁
GundamWingZero-2@reddit
When I looked for a used one, prices were going for an arm and a leg.
Pa_Ja_Ba@reddit
I get it! I've seen VHS on eBay and I have no idea why I have the compulsion to buy them. I have nowhere to put like a hundred videotapes and I have nothing to play them on. But God I want them.
