Collecting sometimes means being in it for the long haul.
It's like that for me with big box VHS.
Videos from the 1980's are few and far between now unless you want to pay a small fortune on auction sites.
Many are in private hands and it's rare for any big boxes to surface at car boots, so finding one at this morning's stroll round Thorpe Arch was very unusual.
It was in a box of normal sized 1990's VHS and as is their nature, sticking out because they're bigger!
This was it, from 1985:
In really great shape, box and tape, Rock 'n' Roll - Elvis, Buddy Holly et al - isn't the usual genre I go for, which would be horror -SciFi- Kung Fu, but beggars can't be ......
It's the first big box I've found at a boot sale or charity shop in six months, the last being the Men from the Monastery, a Kung Fu flick. It'll fit in the R section nicely.
Are you in a collection for the long haul? What is it?
Lots of long hauls!

Ha ha, so many Kev ... But I bet it keeps you on your toes!
