Beatles broke up in 1970 - VHS arrives in 1976 FYI - re: that Let It Be tape.
17,000 VHS and and only 100 different movies!
😂
I am happy with twenty tapes.
😂
Yeah, that's kinda lame
That's the human brain on collector pop culture. No idea what it is but if it has value, gotta hoard it. Pathetic.
"Extremely Rare"
Thats alot of commons.
That’s alot of pretty rare commons.
Can we get a count of how many times he says "extremely rare". You can tell he's only in it for the money just by the terminology he's using. Such a shame.
Ikr.
When I was a kid, it was so much fun to go to a rental store on Friday, and rent movies and video games. The weekend was always fun while playing games and watching movies. Those great times will never be again.
Ikr it was the thrill of going out to find a good movie or a game to play. I still like to go out and look for a dvd tho i find it more exciting over just streaming. And i own the movie
@@jarredkrum9894 same.i liked that
VHS tapes are a work of art.
They're a work of art that being under a buck at the thrift is a requirement. Its not fun when assbags like that jack up resale "value" so they can scam someone else later to make money. This guy doesn't care about tapes, he wants to be rich and "interesting" but its easy to see through. Poser.
He may have a huge collection, but it’s a pretty boring collection overall. His favorite movies are The Royal Tanenbaums and There Will Be Blood. Snore! He is not a connoisseur of movies, he is an investor. He has been hoarding sealed tapes hoping that he can artificially inflate prices with his grading company. I saw an interview he did recently with a streamer called Nerdy Girl and it was obvious that he has a very superficial knowledge of cinema.
Why you gotta hate? Lol
Why do you care about someone else's favorite movie? Are you going to get mad if I tell you my favorite color and you disagree?
@@kamb8s why do you care that I care?
@@jaguargod3483 sorry for bothering you, jaguargod3483
And investors ruin the whole moral of VHS collecting, all for just money and no show......
There was nothing like exploring our local vhs rental store with my father back in the 80s when I was a kid, It was pretty small but was an Aladdin's cave of amazing movies and covers, I kept getting told by the owner to keep away from the horror section but I manged to have a good look sometimes as I was pretty short and when he was distracted I would sneak by the counter.
What a collection! It's great to see the preservation in this form of media at this level. Some folks have no clue what a vhs even is, which is ok. Vids like this can be used as an introduction to something you may have never known about otherwise. Passing the knowledge, preservation , having fun, reflecting on the past to a different time are all great things going on here. I've got a good Crunk of vhs myself. Most of my collecting is heavy on the nostalgia train for sure but I still appreciate what this form of media did and where it lead is in regards to watching movies at home when at one point or another, that was something not common. Great collection and information into the variants as well. I have a decent amount knowledge of this subject but it's always good to learn something new or expand. 🤟🔥🎃
It’s no Victorville Film Archive, but I think most movie buffs and VHS heads would be delighted nonetheless. I give this collection 5 bags of popcorn.
4:56 "the last film that was released on VHS" that's only in U.S.A. In South Korea Inception was the last "Hollywood" film ever released, which was December 2010.
Don’t bring up Betamax with this guy lol
this channel is great comedy. i don't care about the other topics, but the vhs side... so much bullshit :D
i mean, you can watch other vhs related channels and they present all those obscure tapes. movies that are literally only available on that format! and this dude holds harry potter and talks about PRETTY RARE releases :D
Fr
For a investor, it's quite depressing really 😂
vhs is trash!!!
dvd and bluray is better!!! disc are better then old 80s crap
You know Beatles broke up in 1970 and the first production of VHS started in 1976, right? You're literally collecting tapes that were produced in the millions. Common trash. Quality before quantity. I'd rather see a collection with 700 tapes that actually do have rare tapes.
He doesn't even own a single copy of Three On A Meathook
The Beatles mistake made me think for a second that this was a comedy skit, especially because it was meant to be one of the highlights of the collection.
12:09
Today ANYONE can seal a vhs tape and sell it as NEW never opened ...
Sure, but you wouldn't fool a collector. Not only can't you fake watermarks, but the seals are extremely hard to recreate.

I am sure you have an amazing collection.
@@goldin i have a large collection
This is where commons no really collector would want goes to die. Lol dna and igs plebs
@@goldin Your collection is a literal joke.
Great collection, but I do think he exaggerates the rarity of some of those tapes.
Yep these are all quite common and easy to find in the wild. I dont see any seal donna Michelle, force or mogel which are actually very rare.
I wonder if he still has VHS movie nights going and what VCRs he owns.
Hey Kohl! This is an awesome VHS collection! I also love collecting VHS. it's one of my favorite hobbies. Nothing is better to me than picking a VHS off my shelf and putting it in my VCR and watching it. Love collecting hard to find, rare titles.
He's an investor, only hoarding these to make a big buck.
@@MediaLover2023 So he's only displaying them on his shelf? He never watches them?
@@brendanboone7594 Sadly yes
@@MediaLover2023 I was thinking that he loves watching VHS and loves collecting the top titles and watches them in his vcr lol
I'm sure he has copies that he opens and watches and the rest he collects because he's a collector. Can't fault him for this
This guy cant get enough of the SEAL
also RARE
Meet the poser with a ton of commons. Wowwy.
Exactly
Post a video of your collection. Let's see what you got mate?
Yes, I agree, but he is doing a nice job of finding all those variants. 😁
This guy has 3 big toes and his head is one of them. Watermarks......lol
You can find 99% of these at thrift stores thankfully. The word “rare” has lost its meaning.
Not sealed or in mint condition. Also, print variants are huge.
@@kamb8s no one care.
@@kamb8s seriously nobody cares
@@Vegasguy79 clearly some people do if you’re watching a video about someone who collects them.
@@kamb8s we are watching because he's ruining the hobby and we want to make fun of his $12000 sought after copy of ghostbusters.
He doesn't seem to know a lot about VHS for someone with such a large collection. That isn't the first edition Halloween. The first pressing is on Meda, not Media. Most of the stuff this guy has is common junk
After get old won't play anymore tapes gobbad
A sealed nightmare on elm street is NOT RARE, and just because there is a bottom flap DOES NOT MEAN ITS THE FIRST RELEASE, if it's a first release, it would have a foil label on the top of the tape. You are misinforming people. You're not an expert. You're a joke.
It is amazing how confidently incorrect you are.
The media release with the double flap IS the first release for the NMOES VHS in the United States.
It released in 1985 for home video on VHS with the double flap.
In 1987 they did a second release through Media, one with Spanish subtitles and one another “standard” release. The difference in the box was quite literally the bottom flap was not present on the 87 release.
After 1987 they began to release under the video treasures name.
Please don’t misinform people.
I remember when Dvds came out we literally threw hundreds of VHS tapes in our company Skip for crushing.They were deemed pointless at the time! Wonderful collection here.
So the VHS got destroyed?
“Holy grails” or otherwise know as the common eBay tape.
Getttim!
These kids are ridiculous these days.
The Beatles broke up in 1970, years before VHS tapes were being sold. The movie Let It Be came out in 1970, the tape came out in 1981.
Maybe he was referring to Lennon being killed and not them breaking up?
The mold, that’s few thousand less 😂
This makes my 600+ collection look like a joke 😂
This collection of commons is a joke
@@spookyvillevideo LOL no kiddin'
I have 400 something but I think I'll be stopping at like 1000. There's not much movies I like and ik right now imma be selling at least 20 movies.
Tons of copies of the same movie, and he called "very rare" LOL
When you get a VHS signed that is sealed, do you unwrap it so they autograph it directly on the sleeve or just have them sign the plastic? My fear with having them sign the plastic would be that it can easily tear or come off.
Sealed by far for collectors, Goes the same for every collector items.
Awesome collection, but i stopped watching part way in when every second word was Rare, ok we got it rare stuff just tell us about it.
Totally wrong, The Beatles broke up in 1970...years before home taping was viable and a full decade before the VHS boom!
Harry Potter came out in 2001...
he doesn't know what he was talking about lmao
Wow I love vhs you have got a great collection
How lucky you are having a VHS copy of "Let It Be". Very rare and hard to find these days.
Still have 2 vcr's in my house. People ask why, i say its a rememberance of my childhood and the technology that i lived thru.
Have about 25 vhs tapes.
To find this video is extremely rare!
Collezione direi leggendaria!!.anch'io ho sempre avuto una passione enorme,nel mio caso ci aggiungo anche fissazione,del VHS.il VHS e' un sistema mitico,che ti motiva la passione,e' una cosa che si ha dentro,passione che non ho mai avuto per il DVD,e non ci tengo ad averla.premetto che ho anche dei DVD,ma il VHS e' tutta un'altra storia,perche c'entra la passione.comunque complimenti
The sign stuff is cool..but will the price increase like certain golden age comics ? Wonder woman for example... Sensation comics # 2
Where is the other 16000?. You never stack slip covers like he did…it’s the worst possible way to store them as it puts too much pressure on the cardboard and causes bends on the spine.
Wow! That's outrageous! And I only have almost 3,000 tapes in my collection.
What your favorite tape in your collection?

Do you REALLY think that the Beatles "Let It Be" VHS came out "right before the band broke up"?!? Junior.....pull yourself together and do some REAL research. SERIOUSLY
I have clam shell 1986 Thorn EMI VHS tape of 1978 film "CONVOY" signed by C. W. McCall
Nice Collection Man.
I only have 1 VHS in my movie collection, that’s the McDonald’s version of the Land Before Time vhs with the Micky D’s sticker and sealed with Mca water marks.
Im a modest person and my collection is that way too.
I wouldnt have room for 17 thousand VHS es anyway.
People would think im crazy for having your kind of collection.
Wow, that is a whole wet to That is a warm wet dot book. 17000 That is a lot of movies you have. A vhs inside your collection Who knows you're part of a clutch 8100000 millions?
So basically the value is in the box artwork? Cause underneath the box is the same VHS that he has 20 copies of in his collection. I'll continue to buy my VHS at thrift stores and garage sales cause if I really wanat a specific movie I can easily buy it on dvd, Blu-ray or 4k.
Actually. Yes. Box, artwork and in some cases, label. I have an original Meatcleaver Massacre by Catalina. I’ve never seen another Catalina. I have Don’t Go Near The Park on Direct. That’s another I’ve never seen again. If you’re looking to start a collection the best genre to start with is horror as many movies came on super cheap labels that went defunct. I suggest snapping up things on the Paragon label as their “previews” were literally cut by the company by hand, it seems. Vestron, Lightning, Media, etc all have very distinct editions. I know vestron had 2 logos and bunches of variations over the years until like 1993ish.
Essentially, this dude is collecting smart in that he’s got scarcity of commercial films.
Do you still get VHS?
Hardly any of these are actually rare. This is barely a great collection of rare VHS tapes, rather a library of releases for nothing but completist-sake.
I hope he reorganizes his collection, cuz the tapes shouldn't be stacked on top of eachother + he should get clear protective covers especially for the non clamshell tapes. You can get them from malko. Also, ik I will never get 17,000 tapes, probably stop at like 1,000. So far I have 400. But someone please tell me why this guy got so many copies of the same movie like back to the future🤦♀️. I hope they not counting the copies for the 17,000 tapes.
Id only collect favorite films, television, cartoons and franchises alike. Id make touring room of favorite vhs and dvds if I had a house (could afford it). Especially with my favorite film
Im sorry but no serious collector considers a sealed common title a holy grail. So many copies of them were made its no big surprise that some weren’t sold. The fact that you have stacks of some of these titles just goes to show how easy it is for one person to obtain them
I say the same about sealed video games. Id open them bitches up and play em lol
Y are people buying vcrs offline now days Plus vhs tapes 1 vhs doesn't lock up in time like internet dose now days
I remember the last VHS i bought was Collateral Damage and paid $35 for it at Walmart and thinking why the hell did I just do that lol
Last one I bought was an unopened Jurassic park one for the same price. Ain’t mad.
This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. He's got 17,000 crap unwatchable quality copies of movies. I've been collecting films longer than this guy has been alive. How many are on VHS? ZERO> My advice: keep the signed ones and trash the rest.
Hi Kohl and mates! Does anyone know something about the FRIENDS vhs which stands in the cases just behind Jaws in 0:30 ?? Much appreciated!
I have like 30 VHS tapes.
But its my pride and joy.
:)
I also have the Tim Burton's original Batman VHS :)
That sounds like a great collection. The best thing about collecting is that you get to make it what you want.
@@goldin Thanks man.
That isn't even a first edition Halloween. The first edition was under the Meda label, not Media.
I don’t understand Americans obsession with collections or even hoarding things in massive barns and storage spaces. You don’t seem to see it much with people from other countries. Even other well-off countries. Seems like a scary mental issue to me. And I say this as an American born and raised here. I love movies, and actually own a good 300 of them on blu-ray and 4K blu-ray. But they’re things that I actually use, and I watch all of them. Plus, I have a degree in film and television production and have worked in the industry. These people who have “stuff” just to have it, never use it, and even in the twilight of their lives refuse to sell even one item out of thousands, really confuse me. All that they’re doing is leaving a huge burden for their kids or anyone else who knows them when they’re not around anymore.
Drinking game: take a shot every time this dude says "rare", good luck.
VHS proven never had problems on quality tv's proven their problem 1 tv settings brightness on 50 to much had turned brightness down on 33 it was better now on to color settings being on 50 not enough had turned color up on 75 an everything was lot better now if it was quality on VHS tapes nothing would had getting better on tv settings
“You think other people hunt Gumbi VHS tapes?”
“No, probably not.”
This TH-cam video is extremely rare
Had to start off with Jaws, also my first ever VHS tape, last new VHS tape I ever bought was either Star Wars episode 1 or the Final Fantasy CGI feature film.
i had 1,300 vhs tapes 15 years ago but i gave alot of them away because i was starting a dvd collection
I love vhs, I love collecting physical media all together, but vhs is probably one of the most worthless formats you can collect, there's next to no money value in it, you'd be lucky to find a rare vhs tape that's worth $100, love the collection but I'm positive most of us collectors of the format knows that these are worthless
I've heard some of this VHS are EXTREMELY RARE, not sure if true
Poor guy, wait till he finds out that VHS tapes disintegrate with time after 25 years the quality is degraded by 50% they are already low quality 480p add time degradation and I bet most of those videos are unwatchable.
FYI !!! Brand new VHS titles are being released by smaller independent film companies that made Cherokee Creek , Jesus Christ -Vampire Hunter and other horror titles.
Is that natural sunlight coming in? If so, cover that window! It will fade the artwork (like we all know).
What in the hell is this guy talking about?!! Is he saying that, "Let It Be", came out on video in 1970?! Why doesn't he show the years or tell what they are for the earliest ones released?! Because he's lying. How are those holy grails? There must be loads of more interesting films that were amongst the first? How about other, "music home videos", that came out in the late 1970's?!
Would you like to buy some more? I have like 4 you would like
Someone please get this guy on the "Hoarders" tv show.
-the Troll
At least he keeps it somewhat in order and tidy unlike the hoarders on that show who just sleep and eat in their own piss and feces. There's a difference between a mentally ill hoarder and more selective hoarding.
@@Chris-qo4rt splitting hairs
We who got to this video, We are the RARE ones, Not only extremly rare to get but extremly dull to watch.
Take a shot everytime he says “extremely rare”
Everything is proven I got more my new vhs movies offline for 10 dollars everything is proven there not hard finding online it's y'all are hard finding out
I bet he has a million dollar collection now sealed those back to the future original sealed sell for hundreds individual
I never liked them too much because they were almost all in pan and scan and allmost everyone had a mono vcr I was a kid and I was like what the heck mom we need a laserdisc player and she said no
So he can’t watch any of these because they are collectibles. Seems kinda pointless.
People like myself are buying vhs movies offline from images from ebay for 10 dollars today
You're holding on to inventory if you don't get to use any of it. Open one of the seals and show us Jaws pop into the VCR
Oh, that certain title is becoming more scarce? I wonder why?!
Everything is proven people like my self will never buy them tapes because they are not 10 dollars
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
"So how do you watch your movies?"
"Mostly Netflix."
"Let it be" released before the band broke up? I don't think so.

Oh my!
Hello what an awsome collection you have anyways i bought a storage locker today with a collection of about a 1000 vhs tapes in it an i have no idea what to do with them are what there worth if any one out ther has an idea please let me no im in denver colorado
I think and say the same about vinyls but tapes is like cmon get a dvd or Blu ray !
I don't get DVD cuz it's scratches too easily then start skipping. I think I seen something where they said a special coating (that helps it not scratch easily only if you scratch it with like a screwdriver, it'll effect the media) is on Blu-ray and 4k uhd. I have to do more research on this, but I wish they would put more complete series of TV shows on Blu-ray/4k. So far I only see avatar the last Airbender and teen titans on that format.
It's a nice collection for sure but can he stop saying "rare" for every mainstream title out there lmao
I still have lota vhs but i actually watch em lol bought me the second dino rider movie on vhs
14:53
GREAT SCOTT
And when he will die is kids or family will sell everything and he didn't even enjoy selling them to get the money to him self.
