I did collect Laserdiscs, can't remember which one I bought first though.
My old collection (half lost in a flood sadly, other half stored in a moving box)
All covers photographed with early digital camera.
And my early DVD collection (screen grabs from the title screen. I had one of the first DVD players in my PC which I bought to play Tex Murphy Overseer in 1998 and used as a DVD player for the first couple years. (PC connected to CRT projector at the time)
Early DVDs were worse in quality than Laserdisc so I kept both until DVD got better. Some early DVDs were straight up digital recordings from the VHS tape. My local rental store had DVDs with the dutch subtitles from VHS baked in, as well as VHS noise lol.
By the time I moved overseas DVD quality had surpassed LD and I left my PAL stuff behind (gave it away).
Anyway most of it, all the good ones, has been upgraded to Blu-Ray by now, although I also still have an extensive DVD collection.
(And a moving box full of old DVDs that have been replaced by Blu-Ray versions)
My 4K collection is still quite small, I don't buy that many movies anymore. They're harder to find or not available in 4K (still buy a DVD occasionally for what won't even come to blu-ray) They also cost more nowadays and my shelves are all full lol.
Anyway it still dwarfs my early collection, way too many to catalogue like I did with my early collection.
