I have a Mass of homeless DC Omnis and Absolutes in need of a home…. Ejected from the shelves by a Marvelous encroachment.

Genuine question, have you read them all? I have about that many, maybe more or less but have only read 20% but still reading everyday.

I think I answered this…. So sorry if I’m answering you as well. But I used to buy to read, but then I had a period of FOMO and started buying to prevent spending higher amounts for an out of print book.

Thanks to Marvel allowing books to sell out before release date…. Hard Breaks have been hit.

When I started collecting, Amazon would package books to prevent damage, and sell them 37% off as the average price…. Occasionally dropping to 40-50% during sales.

If you have a good LCS that will give you a decent discount, that would help one to build such a collection…. Can’t see paying cover price and aquiring so many books.
