On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Hi all,

Back in my DVD days, I always noticed that the original cardboard snapper cases from Warner Bros always contained these proof of purchase tabs on the inside spine.

To my eyes, it looks like something you would take out and keep. Then maybe at some point Warner Bros offered some items for sale and the price would obviously be a set amount of these tabs.

I only ask because I never heard of them being used for anything, including some kind of mail in purchase. That may be because I live in the UK and was importing US DVDs.

Did any of you guys know anything about these, or maybe even used them yourself?

Back in the day WB had a buy 4 movies and get 1 free mail in rebate thing, these tabs along with the form is what you would send in

I never bothered with it though lmao

Thank you. I obviously never heard of that scheme. Makes sense.

I used them to fuel the satisfaction I'd feel at night, knowing I had proof that I purchased that movie, no matter what anyone said.
