The too groovy cover for VIDEO HUNTER'S GUIDE. You know I can dig it.

Joel and I met years ago hunting tapes in flea market. We talked shop a bit and got along really well, so we kept in contact and traded tapes and arranged hunts from time to time. About two and a half years ago, he bridged the idea of doing the. Both of us had amassed huge collections of catalogs, promotional materials, and tapes. After a few months of brainstorming, we started devoting a majority of our free time to developing a proprietary method to track tape sales. In addition, we piled through thousands of catalogs, random images, and other sources to compile what we believe is one of the most complete lists of distributor rosters to date. Nearly three years later, we put a fork in the guide last week! It was done.Our initial inspiration, i.e. what provided us with the willingness to work so hard, were the staunch core of SOV directors, to whom we dedicated the book. These guys were pioneers that usually had very little money, sometimes very little support, but tons of passion. Combine these traits with their original idea, and we now have some of the highest value VHS releases known throughout the collecting community. The concept of the guide was spawned from several price spikes that began occurring as early as 2009/2010.on Mogul and Chester Turner’sshocked most of us when they sold for hundreds of dollars! That’s when we started thinking, “How can we determine value on a format that was considered ‘dead’ only a few years before?”
