    Asking/listing for and selling for are very different. That seller can’t be serious. It does sell for upwards of $3-500 but not that much.

    I’ve wondered why we don’t have a thread dedicated to these formats. 2018 was a big year for me in terms of transitioning to collected formats vs single issues. Especially with new books. Last year I had 10-15 books a month on my pull now...3. I was inspired by YouTube channels like Gem Mint and the Omnibros Live! to start collecting this way and I’m so happy I did. I read so much more and they look great stacked together on a bookshelf vs plain white boxes full of who knows what. Sometimes I don’t understand why more people don’t collect this way. But it is a growing market. As for these formats going up or down in value in the future, I think it’s possible seeing as some of them that are Out of Print go for big $$$. But it all depends on whether they are reprinted, obviously. I don’t think this way of collecting breeds many speculators. I have heard of some people buying multiple copies but it’s a lot more rare than single issue collectors. I think they are always worth the buy if you really enjoy oversized art and ease of access to classic stories that may otherwise be unaffordable in single issues. Very easy to lend out to friends as well. Theres nothing wrong with being a single issue collector, it’s all about tastes, but these formats make me feel more complete as a collector and definitely inspires more actual reading vs just gawking at cover art and bragging about values.

    I’m glad I participated. Cool to still see so many great prizes in the late picks. I was on the fence with some of the mystery boxes that were still open but I thought I’d let them go to to later pickers. I definitely will try to plan a little more in advance for my offering next year.

    Here’s a nice trio of gifts I received from my mother. Wanted the complete Batman Animated series most of all. Then a couple books (without pictures in them!?! ) from well known collectors. Corey Taylor is a huge comics nerd and one of my favorite people in general. Always enjoy his writing voice. Then I discovered Jeremy Wagner of the band Broken Hope this year, and wanted to give his latest novel a try.

    Merry Xmas!

    Thanks to @srezvan for the gifts! It’s almost like Halloween for Xmas. It’s great to add more EC Archive Hardcovers to my shelf. Two cool mags and nice variants. I’ve had Spidey/Deadpool on pull list since #1. One of my favorite series! Thanks Sohrab!
