VHS Archiving - How do I do it right for a reasonable price?

I’m retarted and keep not buying the Star Wars vhs trilogy, last time I saw it though it was 30 bucks. That was the last instance of original Star Wars before George stuck his dick in it.

Which one? Because either the 1987 or 1995 prints of the original trilogy (the latter released two years before the Special Editions shit) are still available on VHS tapes and laserdiscs in places like eBay as well as thrift stores or pawn shops

1995, yeah I just don’t have a lot of money and they still charge a lot. I was just looking and some were 50 bucks and up. I don’t have laser disk, don’t have a lot of room in my apartment for it but I do appreciate it.

There's the Star Wars despecialized edition on the internet which is basically a HD restoration of the original movie as it was when it was first released. There's a documentry about it on YouTube, but you might have to dig to find it.

If you by any chance do happen to see these tapes at your local thrift store, especially the ones nearby you, you'll be happy to know that they are dirt cheap at around $1-2, even with or without needed tax.

Sadly, this cannot be the same for other pre-1997 prints. One big example being the 1982 original VHS copy of Star Wars that, according to its Etsy listing, is priced around $450 (at least as of the time I'm typing this out)

If judge dredd is still looking for a capture card. Apparently it was not worth the hype.
