Back To The Future VHS tape has sold for $75,000 (£61,000) at an auction in the US.The event organised by Texas-based Heritage Auctions, was thought to be the first of its kind and saw 260 sealed VHS tapes up for auction. Most of those on sale were first-edition copies of films from the 1970s and 1980s.The Back To The Future tape generated a record setting price – something that could have been helped further by the fact that Thomas F Wilson, the actor who portrayed Biff Tannen in the trilogy, was the previous owner of the VHS copy.It included a signed note from Wilson that read: “This is a VHS tape of the first release of Back To The Future, sent to me by the studio at that time.
