Ok, it was worth a shot.
That's the one, @atmasphere , I couldn't remember their name. They use a cobalt formula for Type II tape.

@chris_g https://www.atrtape.com/#cassette-tape To my knowledge the only cassette tape made in the US made by the premium US manufacturer of tape. |
Yes, good luck finding them for 2 bucks! I've seen some on ebay in the 25-40 range! I bought many sealed cassettes of various brands, tdk, maxell, basf, realistic, etc....however, I'm hanging on to them. I don't have anywhere near 100 of them, but what I do have will last the rest of My life I'm sure. |
Hate to tell you, but sealed tapes go for around $10.00 a piece. I buy used ones for around $2-3.00 when I need them now. I have a Nak and I completely erase them before I re-record over them and that works out fine, no bleed through that I can tell. And good brands like Maxell and TDK rarely have drop outs. So you can try what I do. I say that because I remember selling boxes of 10 of either Maxell/TDK for $18-20.00 back in the 80's, so $2.00 today for sealed is not going to happen unless someone is very generous. Indeed, with inflation over the last 40 years, and no new production to speak of, $10 a tape sealed is actually a "fair" price in today's market. Best of luck regardless. |
