You've been doing better than I have these last couple of weeks. In the garage sales I visited these last three days, no home-recorded tapes whatsoever! Plenty of retail tapes at several of the sales though. Among those I went to were Chippewa Lake's annual community garage sale, but no luck at all.
Next week is the town of Seville's village-wide yard sale, which is always held the Friday and Saturday before Father's Day. Didn't have nearly as much luck at last year's Seville sales, but found a good amount of stuff in the couple of years beforehand. In 2014, when I first went there, I found about 14 tapes, most of which had commercials, and they were a pretty good mix of content--two hours of 1996 Olympics events, 1988 Olympics coverage plus a late local newscast, 2003 Daytona 500, Star Trek: Voyager two-part episode "The Killing Game," late night aircheck of WEWS from March 1991 including ABC News Weekend Report, some Lifetime movies, some soap operas (One Life to Live and General Hospital), some other movies, etc. Not as many tapes when I went back in 2015, but still some good finds--Cleveland Browns game against Houston Oilers in 1989, some more NASCAR footage, some more soap operas (The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful), etc. Only found two tapes at Seville last year, both of which were duds.
