A sealed VHS copy of “Back To The Future” was recently sold at an auction for a whopping $75,000! The copy of the VHS was actually owned by Tom Wilson, who played Biff in the movie.
The tape was purchased by a man in New York, setting the record for the highest amount paid for a VHS tape at the auction. Wilson also owned sealed copies of “Back To The Future II” and “Back To The Future III” and sold both of them at auction as well. One sold for $16,250 and the other for $13,750!
Tom Wilson definitely made out on these sealed VHS tapes! Makes you wonder what other VHS tapes he has laying around, still sealed up! Guess what, we know that too! He sold a bunch of tapes in mint condition as well, which include titles like “Top Gun“, “The Goonies“, & “Ghostbusters!”
