Hi guys, I have a few items I’ve collected over the years and was wondering if they were rare or not. 1. A sealed betamax Ghostbusters tape with RCA stamps, it does have the bold no ghost emblem. 2. A 8mm original release of Ghostbusters, tape and cardboard box (used) 3. Ghostbusters 2 light box insert with the original cardboard case. Odean cinemas I built an led box to light it up, see photos (■■■■ camera though) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/d/bde795a8ff9c43da078fef4d1222ecbbdf16ba97.jpeg) ---

DEFINITELY not garbage! “Rare” is subjective, but I’d say all three pieces are decently rare, yes. The sealed Beta could hold some nice value if graded high. 8mm is a pretty unique format. I haven’t been following the market lately, but GB2 seems more common in 8mm. When I was looking, I don’t recall seeingmany 8mm GB1 sell with the box. I only have GB2 in 8mm. I know less about the backlit display, but it’s definitely cool! There’s a common US-version for the home video release, but I haven’t seen one from Odeon. ---

Sorry it isn’t 8mm it’s video 8, I’ve included some more photos with a camera that actually works. Unfortunately the betamax is not in the best of conditions. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/4/14e547da828f9de741ec5c3a7fb866c59afe5f0c.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/d/fd0d9a678863df79643a2030488eff0691acfb16.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/7/f72fcfb2dd476f6947ae637e83d2bfe90a24a6f1.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/0/00582cb4f094e146f8c91c2ff64dcd7c6ece9c8c.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/4/0481c34e715ede7b167233c93c232bdcbf9336e5.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/4/0481c34e715ede7b167233c93c232bdcbf9336e5.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/3/c3d7470eec807beb32815db0f0b19193f635bb06.jpeg) ---

I’d say those are rare. The only rare Ghostbusters thing I have is the [Extreme Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/extreme-ghostbusters) Ecto 1 with a still working sound effects button on the roof. But it is missing several pieces including the [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper), the drivers side door, the [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap), and every piece that attached to the roof. However I recently found out that an Extreme Ghostbusters Ecto 1 that still has the roof with a working sound system still intact goes for a lot. Though I will not sell it due to really liking it. Plus my youngest nephew likes to play with it from time to time. Also I have the yellow Volkswagon car that turns into a green monster. But it doesn’t have its stickers in tact and the windshield of it is broken.
