Star Wars ex rental VHS sleeve (1982)

[SimpleSi]

Hi all,

This is bit of a long shot so I'm casting my wanted net as wide as possible. I'm also keeping an eye on eBay just in case I get lucky.

I'm after an original sleeve only for a 1982 Star Wars VHS first release. These were the ones with text on the front saying "Rental Library".

I have an original cassette tape and box but the sleeve turns out to be an early colour photocopy. You can tell by looking closely at the TCFV label on the spine. A photocopy will be matt without the glossy 'shine' found on an original.


Here's how an original looks.

Thanks!

I forgot about this. I was very lucky and managed to get one from eBay a while ago.

Well done, mate!

Yes, not that easy to find just an original sleeve these days. It wasn't cheap but I'm happy to replace my 'photocopy' with an orginal one. The original case and cassette needed this

I can but not for a while. It's currently in storage with family. I'm hoping to visit and collect it, but not before the summer I'm afraid. If you can wait then I'm happy to do it for you.

No problem. I was going to scan it once I got it back anyway. I have quite a good Epson flatbed scanner for some high res scans.
