What draws you to VHS collecting—the charm of the tape or actually watching it?

[MiaUD]

I've gotten really into 1980s VHS collecting lately, hunting down those big plastic clamshell cases. Part of me loves the nostalgia, but another part wonders if I'm just hoarding degraded tapes that look terrible on a modern TV. Is the charm in the artifact itself, or is it about actually watching the movies this way?
