Just 100% legacy of Goku 2. Absolute peak story telling and the sprites hold up. Def recommend 10/10

Sketches once again getting away from me

I’m hoping some Dragon Ball VHS collectors might be able to help me figure out how rare this is and whether it adds any value to my copy of Dragon Ball GT: Ruination – Uncut.

Back when the Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT VHS tapes were still being released, I was buying them as they came out, primarily through DBZStore.com. I was already a pretty serious collector at that point and liked having the tapes lined up so the artwork across the spines displayed correctly.

When I received my Ruination – Uncut VHS, I immediately noticed that the artwork on the spine was incorrect and messed up the continuous spine artwork. I contacted the online store to complain about it. This was roughly 20 years ago, so I can't remember whether I called or emailed them, but I do remember them sending me a replacement sleeve/box with the corrected spine artwork.

Funny enough, I remember being a little disappointed at the time because I thought they were going to send me an entirely new VHS rather than just the corrected sleeve. I swapped the original sleeve out for the corrected one and basically never thought about it again.

Now, about 20 years later, I've started going through my Dragon Ball VHS collection and looking into what some of the tapes are worth. That made me remember the whole situation with Ruination.

From what I've been able to find, copies of Ruination – Uncut normally seem to have the incorrect/misaligned spine artwork. Mine has the corrected sleeve that was specifically sent to me after I contacted the retailer.

Does anyone else here have a copy with the correctly printed spine?

I'm especially curious whether these corrected sleeves were ever distributed normally, or if they were only sent out as replacements to customers who complained about the original printing error. If the latter is the case, I'm wondering how many of them are actually out there.

I'd also love to know what people think something like this could be worth compared with a normal Ruination – Uncut VHS.

Unfortunately, I don't have the original correspondence anymore. This was around 20 years ago, and the email address I used would have either been an old AOL address or my college email, neither of which I still have access to.

If anyone remembers this printing issue, received a replacement sleeve themselves, or has another copy with the corrected spine, I'd really like to hear about it. I can also post additional pictures of mine and the spine artwork if that would help.

SSJ1’s hair should be lighter in colour and with a softer and fluffier overall texture. See picture with Vegeta

SSJ2’s hair should be a darker, more piss-coloured yellow with more layers to it and a sharper overall look. See picture with Goku.

idk if this is a common opinion, but it’s mine. What do you guys think?

Recent DBZ cake that I made and I’m super proud of!!!! I had a lot of fun creating it and challenging myself with some new techniques. Lmk what you think!! :)
