Spitball Army

Interested? E-mail me at spitballarmy (at) aol (dot) com with a fair, reasonable offer on any combination of titles, or any questions you may have about a particular item’s specific condition. I use the online Laserdisc Database as a reliable community resource for assessing the value of most LD titles. All of these laserdiscs have been lovingly cared for, stored vertically (that is, standing up and not stacked) and kept in a moisture-free environment.

As these titles are “relocated,” they will remain on the list with text strikethrough.
