Condition: Mint condition. The tapes are individually factory-sealed inside the original distributor carton. The outer box is beautifully preserved with clear typography and minimal vintage wear.
Key Features:

[PLEASE NOTE - IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY WARNING]
These are ED-Beta Video Cassette Tapes, specifically engineered for high-definition Betamax (ED-Beta) video recorders.
They are NOT standard music audio cassette tapes.
