In the days before the world wide web, Video Yesteryear was pretty much my only means of ordering and viewing films made before I was born. I used to spend my high school evenings pouring over the catalogue and creating wishlists.
These days, there are a lot more classic films available to the average consumer, and yet I'm convinced there were some films in those old catalogues that are now lost to me, some because I've forgotten the names and Google searches have proven useless, and some because the VY versions had longer running times, extra scenes, or different musical scores that can't be obtained any longer.
There are a ton of old VY VHS tapes on ebay, but what I'd really love to see again are the catalogues. So I'm wondering if anyone here is in possession of a VY catalogue or knows of a way to still get one.

I was retailing home video as early as 1978 and never dealt with Video Yesteryear. However we had plenty of VHS tapes from Nostalgia Merchant which sounds like they dealt with similar public domain material.

Their catalog is a little more limited than what I recall of VY, but it's a start. Reminds me a bit of oldies.com. Thanks!
