I own the Marvel Phase One briefcase set, and I got it autographed by Stan Lee in 2016. That is by far the most valuable piece of my collection

Yeah ur right, we dont buy to sell. We buy bcuz we love our physical copies.

What I love about physical media is that everyone has their own completely unique collection. Not only are the films within the collection different depending on each person's tastes, but the versions of each film. Seeing your Halloween films there; I've got a steelbook of 1, Scream slipcover of 2 & 3, regular American versions of 4 & 5 (but customized with the addition of the bonus disc from the Scream boxset) and the version of 6 from the boxset. It's my own bespoke collection of Halloween based on what I wanted to get and there's something very satisfying about that.

One of things i like about this channel is the quick introduction. He gives a breif preview of what the video is about and then his channel credit is quick. God i hate those you tube content creators that have a 5 minute channel credit and i minute of actual content.

My most valuable bluray is probably my Breaking Bad barrel.

I am also primarily Blu-ray but I still have a DVD release of a very difficult movie to find - Disney’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. I think Disney regretted ever producing this one even though I find it fantastic.

Thanks Jeff. I remember watching Romero's Dawn of the Dead at my friend's house on his parents' front projection screen (like the one Lex Luther had in Superman the Movie) in the early 80's when we were in junior high school. I remember thinking what a unique, bizarre and funny film this was. I especially liked the scenes showing the chaos and breakdown of civilization in the beginning of the movie with the ominous bass heavy soundtrack in the background.

As you mentioned earlier that you collect vinyls, maybe make some episodes about that also. Would love that.

So glad to see others that still love their physical media like I do. I leaned some good info from this video. Thanks!

I'm quite proud that most of my purchases are limited editions. Not necessarily expensive boxset, but slip covers are often limited, sometimes booklets or reversable covers, bonus discs etc. Lots of releases are limited and it is quite satisfying owning them due to the fact that you have it, you don't need to worry about missing out in future.

Congrats on 30K! I love your channel, and you’ve really helped me with/inspired me to start collecting.

I realize this video is a year old but I wanted to thank you! Watching this video I recognized that Zatoichi box set. My younger brother bought one at launch and we had no idea it was sought after.

Well done for making this video it was very helpful of understanding the blurays of their values and not to mention boxset editions or limited editions like you also mentioned in the video that's why I love collecting collectors edition cause not only are they rare but as most of us do know that they can be worth a lot too.

I have the Sleepaway Camp movies with slip covers and that is awesome to know that they have some value. Interesting video!

As you probably know the UK label Second Sight are doing both a separate 4K and Blu-ray set for Dawn Of The Dead

I find the Scream Factory slips to be very flimsy and absolute magnets for shelf wear. Often they do t survive retail without getting chewed up. I remove all the slips, throw them in a box in the closet, and the discs look better than they did with them on. It’s a real shame.

My James Bond 25 movie blu-ray collection is my most valuable movie collection. Love it!

There is a new Zatoichi blu-ray box set in print from Criterion, but the box set that you have is out of print and it is larger and different in some way, perhaps because it has both DVD and blu-Ray? I can’t remember exactly.

I have a couple of those Sleep-A-Way Camp movies on dvd! I ALWAYS also buy the Target Exclusives bluray/dvd of the Marvel/DC, Star Wars, and other special edition movies!!

Love your observations and the fact there are still people collecting DVDs. I'm fortunate to have a couple of friends who are also into it. I do get some good natured ribbing due to collecting the old anaglyph blue/red DVDs, and yes, a few video tapes. Some look great, others...well. Goodwill's one of my favorite hunting spots.

Only thing I've got is Dogma on Blu-Ray. Matt Damon is my favorite actor and I made it a point to own all of his movies. (I have like 200 films in my collection not just Dogma, that's just the only one worth anything)

I got that Jason tin set for $50 on sale at Best Buy a few years back on a Black Friday. Didn’t know it was worth so much.

Hey dude, been watching since 3,000. First time writing in but just wanted to say that I love your content and I'm really proud to see how this channel has grown.

I’m so upset at myself for getting rid of my blu rays a couple years back. I fell into the “Digital” trap 😤

I'm with you, Jeff. My most beloved boxed Bluray (and out of print) sets that grace my living room book shelf - yes, among some great books - for display because it's packaging is so great. Hitchcock Collection (2012), Kubrick Collection (2011), Bond 50 (2012), Star Wars Saga (2011) to which I've included the last three film's blurays for a true ennead (9) of films (it had 3 slots for bonus which I've moved to it's own custom case).

Thanks for the video man👌🏽I didn’t realize how much value I could possibly have in my collection

Wow, I just bought the ESPN 30 for 30 collection back in the beginning of March for 48 bucks on eBay now it's going for over 100! Glad I grabbed it!

Godzilla vs Biollante is another blu-ray that became really expensive. I'm glad I bought that one when it came out.

Herschel Gordon Lewis Feast from Arrow is one of the coolest releases from them and the price is pretty up there as well.

I picked up a sealed unsolved mysteries ultimate collection(the one from from 2006) 7 years ago for 100 dollars. It’s now going for 1300.00 sealed on amazon. I never got around to opening it, my girlfriend suggested opening it and watching some during this quarantine period, I was extremely quick to shut her down. Had to explain to her why. Funny this video comes out a few days later.

I have been collecting blu-rays for over 10 years now including the rare blu-rays from Disney you can only get from their Disney Movie Club. I have approximately 1,640 blu-rays in my collection. Won't do digital. Physical media is the only way for me. My most valuable, not in terms of cost but in sentimental value, is the Star Wars Trillogy - (Original Theatrical Version, not Special Edition) on blu-ray. Thanks For Sharing Your Collection! Long Live Physical Media!!!!

Wow. I have that Guardians steelbook. Lucky me. Thanks for the heads up

Some good predictions in this video man 😂

I sold the Korean special edition of The Good, The Bad, The Weird for $250 on ebay and the guy was like "Thanks for the deal." haha

Always keep a lookout for a reasonably priced Blu-Ray at garage sales and thrift stores to buy so you can upgrade your DVD copy to a better format...👌🏼💯✔

I purchased a movie awhile back on DVD, named "Quiet Cool", and now out of print, fetching for 5x more than I paid for it. I like your video. You are correct, as you never know what the fluctuating prices will be, and who will pay top dollar.

Probably Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, The Bruce Lee box set from Criterion, The Little Mermaid OOP Mondo Steelbook, and the Toy Story complete series Maori import.

just saw that black friday collection at second hand media store yesterday for $99. might be making a trip back there lol

Friday the 13th set is awesome! I found it on eBay for $113 a few months ago. Also got ahold of the 15 disc Halloween collection for 85 on amazon a few years ago!

You should pay attention to announcements and rumors about rereleases, because if a movie is rereleased, the old disc often loses value (because demand goes down). My Twilight Time edition of Leave Her to Heaven was worth around $90 until it was released by Criterion. So you do need to know when to sell. Collecting movies isn’t the best investment, because the number that increase in value are greatly outnumbered by the ones that only drop in value as they sit on your shelf collecting dust. The good thing about a movie collection is that you can watch and enjoy them.

There is a small collectible niche, but, it's hard to predict what titles will be worth $$$. 2 big things that make a title worth some big money is when a title goes out of print or when a title is recalled by the studio. Great example of an out of print title is the Friday the 13th box set shown in this video. The studio usually doesn't announce the title going OOP & you gotta scramble to try & get your hands on a copy at the MSRP. What's a bigger deal than a title going OOP is when a title is recalled by the studio. This can happen for a number of reasons. Three cases that come to mind is Little Shop Of Horrors, This Is Spinal Tap, & the Wes Craven film Swamp Thing. Little Shop, & Spinal Tap were released on blu-ray w/o the directors consent & when this happens, the director of each film filed a junction w/ the studio, making the studios recall all copies. This causes any purchased copies to become instant collectibles. The case w/ Swamp Thing was MGM used a European interpositive of the movie, when they pressed the film on DVD. The problem was nudity in the film (boob shots), The U.S. print had no nudity & was rated PG. Once a soccer mom complained to Blockbuster Video about the movie, Blockbuster sent an email to MGM/UA & got the title pulled from shelves. Be forewarned that the studios can fix all of these issues & re-release the titles at a future date.

You should do a video on how you store your DVDs and Blu Ray... Blind swordsman sounds interesting... Wasn't there a movie of that with Rutger Howard?

The Hellraiser box set not only holds some value due to it be limited, but also because up until that release there was no official bluray of Hell On Earth in the US. They were all imports or bootlegs. I purchased that set for this reason alone. Totally random, but check out the value of Willow with the slipcover. In the hundreds for something that originally cost, at most, $15 when it was first pressed. Nice video - do more!

Thanks for all the info, very informative. Do you know if there's any value in Laserdiscs (mostly NTSC but a few U.K. PAL ones), as I own a few. Thanks.

I own The Dark Knight on Blu-ray. One time, I saw it selling upwards to $15. To get that much money on it, I might sell mine too. Then I could use the money to buy Cats on Blu-ray. 🥳

I have a bluray/dvd combo pack of a movie called zaat. I payed like $10 for it and I guess it's very rare/opp and goes for like $100 or more. It's really cool finding gems in your collection.

I have a Friday the 13th complete set that comes with his mask that goes for 175-200 and I got it for $20 when it came out. Great display piece on my movie shelves.

If you all want to play the "collector as investor" game, you've got to get into vinyl, it's the only physical media where the margins are worth it and the return is much more predictable.

Shout Factory also released the four Bruce Lee movies individually for a short time after the compilation set with much better transfers (4K scans and proper color correction) and even more extras. I hope Criterion will use those scans because they are beautiful.

This was very interesting to watch. I would have to say that the most valuable item in my collection....for now anyway is the Friday the 13th collection you mentioned. I have seen the value go down since Scream announced their set coming out soon. I don't really collect anymore, but I am still on the look-out for Dead Alive on blu-ray. I adore that movie and would really like to get an upgrade from my DVD copy

nice video! my father bought me invaders from mars on bluray randomly one day after he came across it on amazon. it was still $9.99 then though lol. guess timing has to be perfect when collecting physical media

My most expensive boxset is The Wonderful Worlds of Ray Harryhausen volume 2 by Indicator, I bought it on release and now it’s fetching big money with collectors.

Pretty sure I got that Hellraiser set and Bride of Re-Animator at Newbury Comics for a decent price within the last few years. Also got the Friday the 13th Collection when that first came out. Do you have the Halloween collection from Shout/Scream Factory? I have that as well and it looks like the price has gone up. Like you, and I assume most people, I don't collect this stuff to sell it off, but it is nice to know some of them have some value.

Congrats on the subs. I also have the black tin Friday The 13 collection. I bought it years ago on Amazon never thinking it would be worth as much as it is. I won’t give it up

Bird and the crystal plumage also. Very high prices for the special edition

This is only important when I'm dead lol my future grand kids could see my collection to a museum. Hopefully they are cool enough to keep them

I need to check the value of some of my collection. I know the Trilogia de Guillermo Del Toro Criterion goes for around $200 and I have a Media Blasters Destroy All Monsters worth at least $100. I got those Bruce Lee's for $5 each at Walmart few years back and then got extras at Dollar Tree for $1 each. (No slips and gave away as gifts).

When I first got the Hellraiser set, it had two copies of Hellraiser 2 and no Hellraiser 1. Creepy.

One thing I've noticed with Scream Factory blus is that the SEQUELS are the ones that are the most rare. So, Slumber Party Massacre isn't super rare, but the set of 2 & 3 are really expensive. So, that is something I'm keeping my eyes on going forward.

The alfred Hitchcock house collection box set is my most valuable

It looks like the Criterion Zatoichi dusk format edition is OOP but not the Blu-day only edition, which is currently unavailable while Criterion prints more copies. Also, Dawn of the Dead is having a stacked LE released from Second Sight this year :)

Horror, Pro Wrestling and Anime are the ones I have found that really go up in value. I have some sets/singles/doubles that are easily worth over $75 a piece.

I have the 30 for 30 locker set complete with the t shirt guide and all 4 dvd cases in my room lol

I guess it depends which part of the world u live in. Some of these titles are avaialble in shelves here in Australia. I guess it has to rights and distribution from country to country

I have the Ghostbusters 1 & 2 4k steelbook. I never got around to opening it and it looks like it's now OOP. Paid $40 and it had sold for $150 and $175 in the last week. I'll probably never sell it, but it's cool to see something in your collection going for that kind of money

The guy that did the artwork for that Marvel phase 1 box set is great, I love his steelbook releases too. Wish he’d do the rest of the MCU for steelbook. The Thor Ragnarok steelbook has gotten quite expensive but it’s not even a particularly nice steelbook, so it’d be great to get a new release with that artists art style.

Do you know what August Underground snuff edition (signed by cast and crew ) would be worth? Probably one the rarer dvds I have. Never see it on ebay.

Man, I wish I nabbed that Hellraiser set back when it came out.

Thank u 4 making this video very fun too know this stuff

I have several "super bit" dvds. Should i hang on to them? I have been replacing them with 4k discs and i don't know if they are worth keeping. I have on super bit. Black hawk down Starship troopers Desperado The patriot The 5th element. When i switched to blue ray these dvds were almost as good as the blue rays. Thanks

I have the French 30th anniversary steelbook of the back to the future trilogy that I had Christopher Lloyd sign when he came to Paris à few years ago. It has à huge sentimental value, but the most expensive blu rays I own are probably the UK Doctor who steelbooks (séries one is now very expensive, the cheapest I've seen it recently was 102 pounds on eBay). Series 6 just came out and I'm always afraid to miss a new set.

I also have quite a few I havent mentioned that either are out of print and/or have no bluray or 4k release.

Iv got the guardians steelbook and the hellraiser box set, didn’t realise they were worth so much

I also have a couple of valuable blu-rays/dvds since they went out of print pretty quickly...... Sometimes they do get re-released but most of them are left in the dust.

I still collect these always good to have the disc

I think my favorite blu-ray I own is the RWBY Volumes 1-3 steelbook. I love the show and the steelbook is genuinely gorgeous. But I also have The Dark Knight trilogy boxset and that's a really nice one to have

I was wondering if Death Warmed Up 2019 Bluray release is worth some value. I bought if for $29 AUD and I am keeping the movie to see if something happens with Umbrella corporation owning the rights to the movie.

man ive been buying the arrow hellraiser movies individually i didnt even know they made that box set

I used to have a huge dvd collection then I started buying blurays but not near as much......now I only purchase 4k but I could probably count the 4k on both hands. I dont have the drive to find movie collecting a hobby anymore. I think part of it is.... there is sooo much to watch and I only have so much time. Streaming has gotten pretty good with the visual quality and sound quality and Im ok with that. I do appreciate this cats knowledge and reviews though..👍

Hey I have the DVD version uncut version Dawn of the Dead on DVD when it first came out on DVD how much that's worth cuz I don't own the Blu-ray version I always wanted it especially movies I don't buy it during the normal Tuesday's when they come out to buy I usually wait till Black Friday sometimes all of them are on Black Friday for cheaper prices or collect up on movies I won't pay full price for

I think rarity is the biggest factor. Therefore the limited editions from boutique outlets like Arrow, Shout/Scream Factory, and Anchor Bay have the most potential to be worth more if/when they are out of print. I believe Criterion Collection movies can also easily appreciate value.

cool clip. im a fellow movie collector. my faves are my valuable ones. ya the steelbook cases are very cool. got a couple.

Missed out on Sleepaway Camp II which seems to be the hardest find a decent priced copy.

That's what I did with Dawn of the Dead a few months ago. Got it for $2 at a thrift store. My rare opp is Monster Squad Blu Ray. Look up the prices on DVD Compare. Got a lot of DVDs that I find for a dollar or two that are worth $. Warner Archive opp's mostly.

My most valuable items is my Woody Allen Blu Ray Collection with every film of his that ever came out in the U.S, then my Hellraiser Scarlett Set, and my recent Django (1966) Arrow set that was never officially released in America due to blue underground

I have the same Friday the 13th and Dawn of the Dead. Fright Night and John Carpenter’s Vampires (both Twilight Time) and Dead Alive are a few other rare ones I have.

So true, I don’t buy movies for the purpose of making money down the road. I buy them because I like the design/special editions that will look great in my collection and to show off.

The Arrow Video Gamera set is gonna SKYROCKET, I bet. I got my preorder!

Probably the most valuable piece in my collection is a beautiful Hayao Miyazaki Blu Ray collection that was Amazon exclusive. There are a bunch of counterfeits on eBay for $50-$60 but a real/authentic one has become very hard to find and seems to sell for a few hundred.

Also hard to find: The Prestige 4K slip cover, Thor Ragnarok 4K slip cover, Kong Skull island Best Buy exclusive Steelbook

What/where are the best websites to keep up to date on new/collectible 4k releases??

Great insight and video 👍 I am a horror fan and would love that Friday 13th box set, very jealous

I own about 950 bluray movies and dont plan on selling but it is always intresting see when some in my collection go up in price.

great, informative, and fun to watch video. thank you for the heads up. I know some 1980's "sex comedies" also tend to have some decent value. $50-$100 for OOP titles. Some DVD that are valuable include Camp Cucamonga and some of the disney treasures tins.

Omg! I have the scarlet box.. i bought it from a second hand blu ray shop for 80.00 its amazing and i have bride of reanimator from hmv...my best tho is zombie flesh eaters steelbook x

I bought the Infinity Saga box set for like $550 , now it’s selling for like $3,500.

Do you know anything about The Prestige 4k release? It's out of print for some reason.

Cool video. Good message stressing not trying to collect for money. Collect for access.

The live stream was dope jeff! Congratulations for 30k subs and all the winners!

I got the Marvel phase 1 set and the Guardians 1 steelbook! I might have to jump on ebay tonight
