Quite the find at a church yard sale this weekend

Neighborhood church had a yard sale this weekend and I went with the wife. Walking through and looking at a ton of stuff I want nowhere near my house, I found a box labeled $10 and looked inside. It contained 171 (counted later) VHS tapes of Clesmon football games from the 80's through the late 2000's. I collect old games and have a bunch already digitized and saved to my NAS, so I immediately bought it to try and fill in gaps.
After an initial review last night looks like about 30 games (so far) I didn't have (and couldn't previously find online). I'll be trying to digitize them and get them uploaded to Youtube over the next few months.
The lady at the yard sale said her mother in law recorded every game (there are quite a few losses in there) and they had no idea what to do with them when she passed away. She thought nobody was crazy enough to take the whole box home.
I'm crazy enough to do just that.

That is awesome!!! Great find for you. I have a lot of old vhs family videos I'd like to digitize. I tried it before, but they didn't transfer well. What software do you use?

I have a few plugins I use afterwards to clean up / color correct when appropriate.
I'm toying with giving Topaz Ai a shot at upscaling these.

I would be worried I would sit down with my kids to watch an old game and someone taped over it with their home pron video.

lol. I was thinking the same thing. It could get real interesting once the football footage runs out.

I am sure they can be cleaned up for better vision if you have saved digitally. Should last for many years.
Nice find !
