I remember the back story of this. The kid who recorded this left the tape in his a/V class which was then found by other students. He was then bullied to the point of having to leave his school, if I remember correctly. No real point that I'm making just remember thinking it was interesting

I’ll have to call my guy who specializes in sad but not entirely tragic backstories to see how it impacts the value. It’ll probably increase it a bit but not as much as your thinking. Plus I’m gonna have to clean it up, frame it, make space for it on the floor…it’ll probably sit in the shop for weeks. I’m probably interested at about $8.50.
