    Nope. I thought about it years ago but my wife isn't too enthusiastic about it, and you know...
    Apart that the way I'd show them will require a big shelf with crystal and frankly it's not what we need now in terms of spending the money.

    Here is my sealed cassette collection. All to be listened to at some point. I treat myself to an unwrapping and listening when i have time. The two most recent were Bernie Worrell and Set the Tone.

    Its nice to have sealed prerecorded cassettes, but .....

    Only the real collectable ones are worth to keep them as investment.... just regular ones are not worth to keep them just as display.... just enjoy and listen....

    Helaba I have seen it with records, a friend of mine bought a 7” single for $1000+, then he flew personally from London to New York to pick it up as he did not want it posted. No that is something.

    I have a few sealed treasures, here's two from my MoFi Cassette stack .....

    MoFi Cassettes 1989.jpg

    Curious rare collectibles, actually too fragile now to open up for quality playback. Forty year aged MoFi Cassettes have a reputation of deteriorating tape coating, and the cassette head pads almost always fall off when initially used. Just get a load of chuckles looking at that price label, circa late 1980s, purchased in MadCity USA !!!

    Anyone else, show us what you've got stashed .....

    Cheers,

    Bleusy

    Oh, that is the Blind Faith album from 1969, and a most splendid album ..... MoFi did a very good remastering onto cassette tape, but even more impressive was the MoFi Ultradisc gold compact disc version. Only superior rendition of the Blind Faith album comes from the 1/2 speed on vinyl by Abbey Road Studios last year.

    Hi Bluesy

    I love seeing old price labels like that and comparing them to other prices.

    Twenty beers or a "High Fidelity" Cassette ?

    https://eu.usatoday.com/story/money...ch-six-pack-cost-year-you-were-born/38528543/

    Unlike a streaming service you would make sure you listened to a cassette a few times after buying it when they cost that much.

    The cassette on top of Blind Faith is "I Robot", by the Alan Parsons Project.
