Pro tip: I switched from just watching old tapes to actually logging what's on them
For years, I'd just pop a VHS from a thrift store into my player and watch it straight through. Last month, I found a box of 12 tapes labeled 'Family 1998-1999' at a garage sale in Spokane. I started a simple spreadsheet to note timestamps and content. Now, when I find a 30-second clip of a weird local commercial at the 47-minute mark, I can actually find it again! It saves so much time when I want to show someone a specific part. Has anyone else set up a system like this for their finds?

My spreadsheet has a column for tape brand now. It helps me spot patterns in which ones hold up better over time. That garage sale find sounds like a real treasure trove.
