Collection of Audio Cassette Tapes in a Storage Case

This item consists of a bulk collection of approximately 30 to 40 vintage audio cassette tapes housed within a black plastic tiered storage case. The tapes are organized into three distinct columns. Each cassette is stored in a clear plastic 'jewel' case, with many featuring white J-card inserts with handwritten labels such as 'Tape #55', 'Tape #60', and 'Tape 83 Oldies'. Notable commercial labels visible include 'TDK' and 'Keith Frank'. The collection appears to be a mix of home recordings, mixed tapes, and professional releases from the late 1980s to the 1990s. The outer storage case is a hinged black polypropylene box with a textured lid and internal dividers. The physical condition shows signs of moderate age and use; the clear plastic cases exhibit minor surface scratching and some yellowing of the paper inserts. One cassette features a distinctive purple commercial label for the artist Keith Frank. The handwriting on the labels varies in ink color (black and red marker), suggesting a collection compiled over a long period. No major physical damage like cracks in the outer case or unspooled tape is visible, though the magnetic tape quality remains untested.
