===========================================

THIS COLLECTION IS ON 98 DVDs.

ALL DVDS recorded at the SP (2hr) Spedd for the best possible quality

ALL DVDS HAVE MENUS FOR EASY EPISODE ACCESS.

(Many disc menus are not automatic and you must hit the “menu” button on your remote for it to appear)

===========================================

Yes, 98 is alot of DVDs and Yes, I could have crammed all these rare shows onto about 30 DVDs at the 6hr speed… BUT YOU KNOW HOW POOR THE QUALITY WOULD IS WHEN YOU RECORD AT THE 6Hr SPEED.

Many sellers on this site cram 6+hours to a disc. Buy one of those sets and then see the difference in quality!

Many of these shows are very rare and almost impossible to find. I think they deserved to be preserved in the best possible quality. READ MY FEEDBACK.

=============================================================

QUALITY (PLEASE READ): I have been collecting for over 35 years and my video library consists of over 35,000 individual items (on VHS, DVD and Film). I do my best to offer the best quality items I can find but understand that nothing in a 40-50 years old TV show episode is perfect! Many of these shows have been locked away in film vaults and seen on TV for 20-40 years! Also, some things to consider: DVD QUALITY: I DO NOT cram 6+ hours onto a DVD at the cost of video quality. I also DO NOT use no-name cheapo DVD blanks. Yes, those discs are less expensive, and you save a few cents when you buy sets recorded on those discs, but many of those bulk discs will eventually freeze up, distort or just plain die! Yes, they will. Maybe not today but one day when you try to watch the disc it will be dead. I know, when DVDs first came out I bought the cheapest I could find, only to find out years later I lost many hours of video when they would not play without breaking up or distorting. AND, be aware that a shiny silver-faced or plain white-faced blank disc (with no manufacturer’s name on it), can be anything from the cheapest 1 cent bulk disc to the most expensive disc. They all look the same to the common person and all you have to go on is the word of a stranger who is looking to make a sale! All my DVDs are recorded on quality, name-brand DVD blanks (TDK, Maxell, Sony, Memorex), with the manufacturers name clearly visible on the disc, for the best possible quality. You know what you get when you buy my sets! There are no secrets! Quality always costs a little more. Consider that when you are comparing prices and buy a collection that will last and be enjoyed for many years to come! The choice is yours – It’s Your Money!.

RETURNS: DUE TO THE EASE OF “COPY & RETURN” I will not accept returns for refund for any reason. I will replace ANY defective disc with same content upon return.

QUESTIONS: Please ask questions prior to purchasing so there are no assumptions made. I will be happy to answer all questions as best I can.

PAYMENT: I accept Check or money orders (held 10 business days) or Credit Cards Through Google Checkout (I no longer accept PAYPAL (for obvious reasons). All orders shipped within 3 business days of receipt of clear payment.

SHIPPING: All full priced purchases are shipped USPS PRIORITY BOX MAIL (2-3 day delivery time) with delivery Confirmation.
