I ran across a copy of TULIPS in my collection. It's only on the vaporware list. Tom, if you want it, let me know and I'll send it to you. CRAIG Greenbelt, Maryland

Is the cover / caddy label printed or hand labeled?
Could you post a picture of the cover art?

Where'd you get it from?

The closest I have to an unreleased title is Savage Streets from Vestron- it's listed as Extremely Rare. I don't know what the deal with this title was, I posted about it here after I got it and the closest answer I got was that they figured it wouldn't sell that late in the game (1985) so they decided not to do the release, but then why was this copy completed? It looks just like a regular release with barcode and everything. I got it in a lot from an Ebay seller with some other normal discs, I think they were in Indiana but don't remember exactly.

This one has no label at all on it. Just a 3x5 piece of paper taped on to it with its title on it. Again.....Tom, want it? Very dull movie. CRAIG Greenbelt, MD

Can you tell us what you want for it? If Tom doesn't want it, Blind fury has bought several Discs from me, he pays quickly. Good luck

I would also like to be considered to be its caretaker, although I don't have any money right now having just spent about a thousand bucks on vet bills for my cats!

Yeah, they just needed their teeth cleaned which costs a lot.

You are right. My sister just had to have one of her cats put to sleep, it broke her heart, she had him 15 years, He had cancer. I didn't even know animals could get cancer. She has 2 more, one of them is over 10 years old. We had a mutt dog who was 6 months old when we got him and last Summer he was 14 years old, he died. it's like losing a member of the family.

Pets are pets....loved and very loving. Just don't live as long as we. Also in that batch was an unlabled "Story of O", even though it's the second copy I have, I think I'll keep it. Really a twisted story. These boxes I ran across at the Antique Television Convention in Hilliard, Ohio, and were a donation to the foundation. Included was a player (Japanese version with the needle on the left) which just needed a couple of load/unload belts. Ain't throwing stones at RCA but this is really a smart and simple design. FYI, I've been lurking and collecting these for about ten years. Extras I give away to Scordi up in Baltimore....have fixed a couple of his players as he's not too sure of his mechanical/electrical talents. There are easily a thousand discs upstairs on supported metal shelving, needed as you all well know. Only a couple of duplicate titles. From time to time I like to watch one on the 1947 RCA projection television (24-inch diagonal screen). CRAIG Greenbelt, Maryland

Story of O is a rare one! I have bought quite a bit off of scordi! Almost everything that I have that has a box is from him, like the ballets (lulz) and holocaust! Good guy good prices!

I've been trying to find Story of O for a long time, I've only seen it on Ebay once and don't remember what it went for. I still don't know why that title was withdrawn; it was from MGM not RCA.

Does "Tulips" have the Embassy Home Entertainment intro and all that on it? I looked it up on IMDB and sounds like an interesting movie.

I'll send it out to you this week. No art on it, though. Thanks for putting up this website. CRAIG Greenbelt, MD

What is "Tulips" about? Who is in it? I have never heard of this movie before.

I'd like to know in the unlikely event I ever encounter these "extremely rare" titles what they are worth????

I understand things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them; but too those seriouse collectors out there; what is a vaporware title worth? How about an "ER" title? An "VR" title?

I'm probably the only person in my state that thinks this finding this the coolest thing ever.
