This is the clamshell copy collectors look for.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie on VHS in the original Nickelodeon yellow plastic clamshell, released at the very end of the VHS era. Most copies were issued in standard cardboard sleeves — this one wasn’t, and that difference is exactly why it commands attention.

Late-era VHS titles were produced in smaller numbers, and clamshell variants like this are significantly harder to find than their slipcase counterparts. Combine that with one of Nickelodeon’s most iconic franchises and you’ve got a true format-era collectible.

Why this copy matters:
