I forgot to mention Lawrence Jones' Polyphony record auction, which always has a large selection of pre-recorded 1/4" quarter-track tapes. Note that tape quality is always an unknown unless you listen all the way through, which he does NOT do. (His method is perfect for LPs, but you can get surprised with tapes that have print-through, long drop-outs, or curly-edge in the middle, none of which is visible when the tape is spooled on the reel.) So, with that warning, some of his tapes might be worth it if the price is right.
I have never heard of sticky-shed on pre-recorded tapes either.
