like for myself it is not really a financial thing. its just that i feel that after dropping 2.99-4.99, i am left disappointed with the amount of story i got. Maybe they should switch to a cheaper paper. I really dont like the books that come with the cardstock covers. i feel like i am gonna damage them while reading. also all the spinoffs and one shots that come out and variants. i dont buy anything but the regular title. i think i will be cutting my list to 5 books a month or 25.00 a month and save up for key sa and ba issues.

started seriously when I was 13...did so till I was 17, stopped..bought off and on when I was in my 20's...then stopped at 26..lost a collection when I was forced to leave an apartment, forgot it in a garage with some other things..Picked up collecting again in 2002, been doing so ever since.

I quit buying moderns 6-7 years ago. For Marvel, since '93. DC was a bit longer as I read Hellblazer up to around 150 (which was in '01 I think). Three years ago I started back issues again (after stopping that back in '89-'90). In '84 I quit buying for about 3 years completely.

| Well I have made an effort to cut back as much as I can bear and maybe pick up some of those other newer books at the cons for cheaper. There isn't much that I look forward to more right now than getting those new books on Wednesday. If I had my way I would be traveling the world but I can't afford to do that so.. I find that if I start hunting down the back issues I want I am paying a heck of a lot more than $3 a book. I do like getting those old books. I studied history in college so old things appeal to me. Still, on a cost per book versus enjoyment, back issues seem a more costly proposition.

| Just download them and read them for free if the main problem is price. I'm sure there are others on here that can point you in the right direction. I collected from 82 - 92? and started back again in 2006 but there are only a couple of moderns worth collecting.
