I buy about 50 VHS tapes on average a week (sell 1,000-1,200 a year online on Ebay and Amazon donate back others). Of course these include home recorded stuff as well as commercial releases.

Some stuff of note I found recently:

-48 Hours and Local Hero recorded off The Movie Channel around 1985 or so, even came with an original Scotch hard shell VHS protective case
-3:15, one of my favorite 1980s gang movies (original 1986 Media release, never released on DVD or Bluray)
-Scanners (later MGM release)
-Tons of other thrillers and erotic thrillers, many of which were never released on DVD/Bluray

I really like collecting the older home recorded stuff, the oldest I found recently was from 1981 (NFL game Broncos-Chargers) and found a huge lot of boxing and home recorded made for TV movies from 1979-1985, and all played great no joke! I swear the older blank tapes were built better than the crap that was made post 1990. I used to buy the TDK T160s in bulk in the early 2000s and my Panasonic deck would eat alot of them, but not the older stuff.
