Paid $65 for a bootleg copy of the banned Kmart bikini ad and it was worth every penny
I collect pulled commercials and last month I dropped $65 on a VHS rip of that 1994 Kmart bikini spot that got yanked after like two days on air. The tape showed up scratched to hell, but the ad was on there in full, and seeing the exact cut nobody talks about was a rush. What's the most you've ever paid for a banned ad, and did the tape or file actually play?

That scratched tape is honestly part of the charm for me, a clean copy almost feels wrong when it's a commercial that was never supposed to survive. I've dropped $40 on a DVD-R of a regional car dealer spot that got pulled for a fake crash scene, and it played fine except for one freeze near the end. The bigger problem is when sellers hype up a banned ad but it turns out to just be the regular version with like two seconds trimmed. How did you confirm the cut on your Kmart tape was the real pulled one and not a later edit someone slapped on a label?
