Volume 15 Vhs Appraisal

The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show - Volume 15 (VHS Tape)

This item is a commercially produced VHS (Video Home System) tape housed in its original cardboard slipcase. The cover features a graphic design comprising a black top half and a mustard-yellow lower half, separated by a diagonal line. The title 'Greg Garrison Presents: The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show' is rendered in stylized white, orange, and purple font. An inset photograph shows Dean Martin in a classic tuxedo with a black bow tie against a purple background. The slipcase identifies this as 'Volume 15' within an orange circular emblem. The bottom front lists guest stars including George Burns, Dom DeLuise, Peter Falk, Marty Feldman, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Lorne Greene, Gene Kelly, Paul Lynde, Flip Wilson, and Jonathan Winters. Based on the printing of this specific collection through Guthy-Renker in collaboration with Greg Garrison, this media item likely dates to the late 1990s or early 2000s. The physical condition appears good, with minor shelf wear visible along the corners and bottom edge of the cardboard sleeve. No significant fading or moisture damage is noted on the visible portion of the sleeve, though some minor creasing is present near the top right corner. This home media release preserves the variety show format popular in the mid-20th century, specifically the NBC series which originally aired from 1965 to 1974.
