A sealed VHS copy of the classic 1985 movie Back To The Future has fetched over €71,000 at auction in the United States.

The video tape belonged to actor Thomas F. Wilson, who famously played Biff Tannen in the iconic series, and in a personal note he said, "this is a VHS tape of the first release of Back to the Future sent to me by the studio at that time."

"Since I knew that the VHS platform would be around forever, I saved it for later and now I can't find a VCR. Oh well. Enjoy!"

The actor’s unopened VHS copies of Back To The Future Part 2 and Back To The Future Part 3 went for over €15,500 and €13,100.

With the resurgence in popularity for old formats such as vinyl and the cassette tapes, VHS tapes have also made a comeback, with an original video tape of Star Wars selling for over €50,000 at auction last December.
