I have CoCo and Apple][ floppies from the early to mid '80s that are
still apparently fine.  Some that look terrible still work like a
charm.  I have gobs of second-hand CP/M disks.  Most of them work, but
there is a fair degree of failure there.  Don't know why those seem to
be in worse shape.  Could be brand issues or just that these particular
disks were used a lot.

Now 1.44M floppies from the early to mid '90s seem to fail me far more
frequently.
