Since the application of physical media is less popular nowadays, there are a few DVDs that are extremely popular among collectors in society. Items that are limited edition and first-press, as well as discontinued box sets, especially in perfect condition, are other objects of desire in the secondary market.
Black Diamond Classics By Disney
The Walt Disney issues, which were published at the beginning of the DVD era, including the unopened benefits on old classic animated titles in their original packaging, are also popular among collectors.
Criterion Collection Editions
Small run print and film restoration viewings are a hallmark of Select Criterion DVDs, and are a regular practice among film enthusiasts and movie collectors.
Original Trilogy Sets Of Star Wars

Early DVD box sets of Star Wars are also sought after, especially first-generation ones, which were issued before the subsequent issue of a remastered version would become a matter-of-course.
The Simpsons – Seasons 1-3
Included in the discontinued/original packaging is the sale of the Simpson box sets (most of the older sets) of the show as a set.
Out-of-Print Horror Titles
Niche collectors, particularly those who specialise in cult movies, movies with a relatively poor track record of distribution, usually desire to own a few horror DVDs that are no longer being made.

First Mover DVD Of Harry Potter
The collectors, and notably the collectors of the original multi-film sets, which remain in their retailing package, are now concerned at least to some extent over even the earliest DVDs of Harry Potter.
Home Releases Pixar
This has also seen Pixar hoarding the early DVD copies that not only are being sought after because of their bonus feature but also have their own packaged formats that have since become a rarity.
Small. Publication of Anime On DVDs
These few anime DVDs that are not prevalent in the market or which are regionally distributed might be out of circulation and more valuable with the passage of time.
Music Concert DVDs
Large artists, concert recordings are frequently found, as are those on which circulations have since been dropped, or on which there was a low issue.
Going out of stock on TV Box Sets
Out-of-print TV box sets are not readily available, particularly those that lack artistic packaging. Full sets, including complete discs, are more difficult to locate because of wear and tear, which boosts demand and cost among collectors.
