So tapes not bearing the little red and black BBFC logo were made back to a time where is was not compulsory to submit your film to be certed(and cut).
People also love to collect them for their box art or the fact they were on some obscure (now defunct) label.

Makes sense. I can see how the Video Recordings Act effects would make pre-Act cassettes interesting and collectable.
One thing is for sure - as they get older they will only become more collectable. Especially since working copies will become scarcer.
