      @@SamshorrorNot always the case. I have some original late 90s DVDs and they're still as good as the day they came out. I think it's the care given and quality the product has that makes it last. I've also got original releases of VHS from the early days, as well as beta tapes and they're fine as well. Heat and moisture ruins a collection and when you learn the proper storage and care methods, then most of the time your collection will last. I remember the whole disc rot thing with low quality CDs from the 90s and early 2000s, but then again I still have those originals and they're also fine. Everything can fade and rot if given the chance, but care is the key.

      Grading companies inflate prices to sell grading services and then basically live off people making videos or articles about how much everything sold for. It's unlikely that most of these tapes ever actually exchanged hands. There's a tendency for the same copies of things to pop back up all over the place. I think I actually sold that copy of "Top Gun" that was in here for like $8 prior to the grading companies coming on the scene. I highly doubt it would have went for the claimed price at auction without shill bidding. It took me months to sell it for $8.
