I think many of the OOP trades are being replaced by available digital versions. Personally, I prefer the original comics to the trade editions. Yeah, I know they can be pricey.

I appreciate digital versions, great reference material and pleasing to the eye...I OWN MANY! Great start for those who wish to progress to floppy/Collected Editions. Yes, originals ARE pricey, unless you buy in lower grades & that is a great way to collect if you are not stuck in HIGH GRADE limbo!  |

Even though the colors/reproduction are not to my satisfaction...I love having this OOP HC to the classic Steve Englehart/Marshall Rogers Batman run in Detective Comics...  |

If you look at the Purchase thread, you'll see that I don't really want to spend more than 1 dollar for the books I'm getting. I feel the same way about digital that you do , in that It's good to have access to the stories but it's not really "comics". I prefer to own a physical copy that you can sort and flip through. |

Digital is nice for carrying around on a trip or getting something inexpensively which might normally be out of my price range. As for Classic OOP Trades I own....hmmmm that is a difficult one. So much of the Trades I have gotten are more recent as in the last 5-10 years so most are readily available. Though there are the few which have gone crazily expensive due to short printings: The big one which jumps to mind: The Colossal King Conan printed in 2018 collecting the Darkhorse Truman and Giorello Tomas and others runs of stories. Ordered that bad boy new from Amazon which cost me $74.99 at the time and now the price suggestions are outrageous by Crom!
some of my Marvel Essentials and DC Showcase have gotten quite pricey.

I've never really collected any Trades or HC, being much more into the original comics. So I'm just not sure what I have that might be OOP or hard to find. I wish I knew so I could sell them!

I was fortunate to get a fair number of TPBs/HCs released in the 70s and early 80s--and as a kid, it took much to earn and save for these then-pricey books. I had/still have many of the Marvel TPBs ( Origins of Marvel Comics, Son of Origins, The Superhero Women, Bring on the Bad Guys, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty & The Amazing Spider-Man), but I really loved the DC hardbacks, which were filled with Golden Age gems:  One of my favorite TPBs was the Golden Press collection of the Gold Key Star Trek comics. At the time, some early Gold Key issues commanded a high dollar, so this set of four TPBs could not have come at a better time:  What was great about the Trek books is that Gold Key created special features for each, such as character profiles, a history of space flight from real world achievements to the fictional Trek ships, and artist profiles. Of course, years later when DC Archives and Marvel Masterworks began their run, I jumped in with both feet, but the HBs and TPBs of the 70s were so special at a time when the market was not necessarily oversaturated with reprint hardbacks/TPBs, so it felt like the fan was getting something rare, or for the "archives". |
