WWF Coliseum Video Additions (Update V)

It's been a busy week, but we've finally listed the last video from the mega collection. Interest has been high and many titles aren't lasting more than a few hours in our store. Even with that, our selection of '80s and early '90s wrestling titles is among the best of the eBay best. Here's a look at what we've added recently:


Best of the WWF

From 1985 to 1989, Coliseum released a 20-volume Best of the WWF series.
These volumes included classic matches, unseen matches, interviews, and memorable segments.
We've got all 20 volumes up for grabs, so check them out:



WWF In Your House

Though Coliseum released these under different titles, they're almost all here. True rarities such as Lumberjacks, Cold Day in Hell, and Mind Games are all up for grabs.

WWF Coliseum Video Additions (Update IV)

The finish line is in sight. We're almost finished adding the immense private collection to the store. The response over the last week has been fantastic. We've had several repeat buyers and a few trying to get at certain titles before we even add them to the store. Just so you all keep pace, here's what we've been busy adding:

Survivor Series 1987 through 1997

Coliseum Video released the first 11 Survivor Series events and we've got 'em all. From the inaugural show that featured Andre the Giant as the sole survivor in the main event to the 1997 edition that featured the infamous Montreal Screwjob, all the best moments of Survivor Series in its first decade are here for the taking.



Royal Rumble 1989 through 1997



We've got another update around the corner. We'll highlight some of the rarest In Your House videos in addition to the classic Best of the WWF series.

WWF Coliseum Video Additions (Update III)

Another day, another stack of videos added to the store. We added all of the Coliseum Video-released Wrestlemania and Summerslam videos this evening. That includes Wrestlemania 1 through 13 and Summerslam '88 through '97. Click on the images below to check them all out.

WWF Coliseum Video Additions (Update II)

Busy, busy, busy. We've spent the last three days plugging away at getting this immense collection into the eBay store. We're about halfway through at this point, but the reception thus far has been a blast. Lots of people taking advantage our great selection of high-quality videos and our October special (details here). One buyer has already enjoyed this special a couple of times, getting a cumulative $50 knocked off their orders in addition to free shipping.

Titles are going fast. Some of the high-end titles are getting snatched up almost immediately after we list them. Not sure if that speaks well of their rarity, our prices, or both. At any rate, don't snooze on anything. If you see it, grab it, because recent trends suggest a lot of these videos won't last long.

With that said, we've still got a ton of great '80s and '90s videos to choose from. We're now boasting over 300 wrestling videos in our store, an impressive stat considering we don't stock the junk you can find from every other wrestling seller on the block. Here's a quick look at some of the additions we've made in the last 48 hours:

WWF Personality Videos

One thing Coliseum was always consistent with was its personality sub-set of videos. They mixed the profile's best matches, moments, and interviews into an attractive package. Some of our favorites you'll find include:
Supertape

WWF and Coliseum followed up the very successful 20-installment Best of the WWF series with a similar line in the early 1990s. Supertape, a five-volume set, continued the Best of the WWF's format of collecting matches, interviews, segments, and features. The set finished out just as Coliseum started compiling almost entirely all dark matches on these types of videos. Subsequently, there are a lot of matches here from venues such as MSG and the Boston Garden.

Supertape '92, the fifth installment (pictured above), included several dark matches in addition to the complete This Tuesday in Texas PPV that aired the week after Survivor Series '91. This event didn't get released anywhere else, so this volume has become sought after.



We've got another update coming tomorrow. We're adding in all of the Coliseum Video-released Summerslam and Wrestlemania events, so check back and browse the store. Until next time...

WWF Coliseum Video Additions (Update I)

We've started the lengthy task of adding the immense collection we told you all about late last week. There's a nice mix of bargain titles and top-shelf pieces added to our eBay store so far. Some buyers have already secured themselves a few of the newest additions, but there's plenty more to go. Just don't sleep on a given title, though, because while there are hundreds of titles, there aren't multiples for a lot of them.

Here's a smattering of we added this weekend:

  • Countdown to Summerslam '94: Though only 30 minutes in duration, this is a highly sought-after title from Coliseum. The folks at Coliseum threw this one in with purchase of Summrslam '94 and a small handful of titles they released at the same time. It's tough to find on eBay and when it does surface, it commands serious cash. This one's without its original box, so we're offering our customers the shot at adding a legitimately rare video to their collection at a reasonable price. Check it here.
  • Wrestling Grudge Matches (1993): Not to be confused with the 1985 release from Coliseum. This one packs a lot of dark matches and questionable feuds onto a two-hour tape. Lots of your old favorites here, though, and of course, this is a tough one to track down. It's infrequently on eBay and true to form, fetches a pretty penny when it is offered. We've got it at a great price, especially considering it's not a former rental.
  • Mega Matches '95: Another one you don't find too often. Coliseum Videos from the 1994-1996 era are real hit or miss. Either you can't do a search for videos without find some and have a near impossible time finding the others. This is one of the latter. It's your standard two-hour fare of dark matches, but with a parade of classic stars, an immaculate box and video quality, and attractive price, this one's a no-brainer.
  • Wrestlefest '93: Coliseum started getting a little goofy about some of its releases in 1993. Though they had offered a more affordable line of videos outside of their main line, they hadn't released any regularly priced videos outside of their standard WF000 catalog numbering system. Here's one of the first videos from Coliseum that broke that tradition. I'd imagine fewer quantities sold, because this one isn't a regular on eBay. We've got it here at a very nice price, again considering market demand and its non-rental status.
Here's a brief listing of some other titles we added this afternoon:
  • The Undertaker: He Buries Them Alive
  • Wrestlefest '95
  • Wrestlefest '94
  • Brawl in the Family
  • Bret Hitman Hart (1994)
  • Razon Ramon (1994)
  • Inside the WWF
We'll have another update tomorrow. We're trying to stick to at least a loose theme each day we list. Here's some of the themes you can expect to see this week:
  • Best of the WWF
  • In Your House
  • Wrestlemania
  • Summerslam
  • Survivor Series
  • Hulkamania
  • Supertape
Until then, drop by our store and as always, feel free to let us know if we can help you track anything down.

Coming Soon: More Than 160 Non-Rental WWF Coliseum Videos

We alluded to another big announcement last week and we're finally ready to let the cat out of the bag. We've acquired one of the most comprehensive WWF commercial video collections we've come across in our 15+ years dealing with wrestling videos.

Not only does this collection include virtually ever entry in the main 175-video line from Coliseum Video, but there are additional rarities from Coliseum Video that were released in small quantities. Best yet, each video is from a private collection, meaning they were never rentals. These types of videos are generally in great condition, but we can say without exaggeration that almost every video in this collection looks brand new.

Expect to see this incredible collection start to hit our eBay store tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 17). We'll hopefully have everything stocked in the store by weekend's conclusion. Here's a small sample of some of the elusive videos we've got in store for everyone, plus a few pictures of this wrestling video collector's dream come true:

  • Mind Games
  • Mega Matches '96 (IYH: Good Friends, Better Enemies)
  • Terminators '96
  • Countdown to Summerslam '94
  • 1994: Year in Review
  • Nearly all 20 volumes of the "Best of the WWF" series
  • Lumberjacks (IYH #2)

WWF LJN Update

We've got all our recently acquired WWF LJN figures up and ready to be part of your collection. For those who missed it, this includes such tough-to-find pieces as:

This big addition of LJNs coincides nicely with our October special:
