== Possible rarity of a Disney tape I got two days ago ==
So almost two daysweeks ago when I was at my grandmother's house, I got the 1992 VHS release of “The Great Mouse Detective” (1986), which I was supposed to get for my 14th birthday on Friday. It was factory sealed and had a Toys R Us sticker when I got it, but now it has been opened. My copy is actually the 11-10-1992 re-issue, with the regular Proof of Purchase tab label above the back cover (which I had removed when opening the tape). (The original 07-19-1992 issue did not have any Proof of Purchase tab labels, and the 10-1830-1992 re-issue had a prototype variation just like Beauty and the Beast had). When I opened the clam shell case, there were no inserts or anything, just the tape inside. On the bottom side portion of the cassette on my copy, the print date code reads 012394-E, meaning my copy was printed on January 23, 1994. What the letter E means or stands for — I’m assuming it’s just some sort of shift codedigit. prefixI have checked the opening to my copy, and it still has the theatrical preview for "Aladdin" (1992) at the beginning of it, as well as the 1992-1994 Walt Disney "Black Diamond" Classics logo with the April-July 1992 clean audio variation. I have also checked the closing, it still has video previews for "The Rescuers" (1977) and "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) at the end of it. So based on the print date on my copy, is my copy a rare copy of the tape? Thank you in advance. [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.224|69.85.235.224]] 16:25, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I might check the closing when I get back home in a few days (as of this writing, I am at one of my grandmothers’ house).
