OK. The tape wrapper looks great but the cassette itself just looks like a normal tape. On many tape doors, you might not even see the lettering. I'd venture to guess that the tape is worth far more in unwrapped form than it ever will inside a boombox.

At first glance.... I totally saw that tape in your S93 in my mind's eye. Those pics you posted of it were awesome.
Thanks, Jaetee!

Very true, but you know how big and clear the window is on those Toshiba boxes.
Not saying that someone wouldn't buy it for a different brand box, but I can't really understand why they'd want to.

Yep. In any other boombox besides a bombeat -- that tape would be, well, it would be just another tape.

On a somewhat related note, I bought a Crown cassette thinking it would look great in the Crown CSC-950F I used to own... When it arrived, I put it in the box and couldn't even see the Crown logo on the tape.

See! See! THAT's what I'm talking about.
I got a Pioneer tape that I first thought was cool because it said Pioneer on it. But inside the boombox, nobody would know, and it's really just a standard low noise tape.

As there is a collector community for boxes, microcassette players and walkmen, there are probably even more people who collect blank NOS cassettes. A Toshiba Bombeat cassette is relatively rare and I expect that anyone who buys that tape will never unwrap it. Well...., except maybe an actual Bombeat owner
You can get a better look at those tapes here: http://www.c-90.org/catalogue/tapes/Toshiba
I kinda like the FS tape... Looks like an early 80's TDK.

Hmmm. Like I said, without the wrapper, it just a regular tape. The price is already more than I would pay for something like that.
