Braveheart VHS Tape (1995)

This item is a VHS cassette tape of the film 'Braveheart,' starring Mel Gibson, released in 1995. The tape is housed in its original cardboard slipcover, which prominently features marketing artwork for the movie. The front cover displays a large image of Mel Gibson in character as William Wallace, holding a sword. His long hair and period attire are visible, set against a fiery orange and red background that suggests intensity and battle. Below the main image, smaller figures representing an army, including a person on horseback, are depicted. The film's title, 'Braveheart,' is printed in large, bold letters at the top, with 'Mel Gibson' above it, indicating his star power and directing role. A famous quote from the movie, 'Every man dies, every man truly lives,' is printed at the bottom left of the cover. The physical condition of the slipcover shows clear signs of wear consistent with its age and material. There are numerous creases and folds visible across the entire surface, particularly noticeable around Gibson's face and the title area. The colors, while still vibrant, exhibit some fading, and there are areas where the print has rubbed off or scuffed, revealing the white cardboard underneath, most notably along the bottom edge and near the center-right. A significant tear or piece of damage is present at the bottom left corner, where a portion of the cardboard has been ripped away, possibly exposing the cassette within, though the cassette itself is not visible. The overall construction is standard for VHS slipcovers of the era, made from thin, printed cardboard designed to protect the plastic cassette. The item's estimated age is 1995, aligning with the film's release date, making it a vintage piece of home video media. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible on the depicted side of the slipcover, but the general style and wear patterns suggest typical mass production quality for home video releases of that time.
