A question Minty; the original Omni prints are noticably thicker and the eBay resellers listings state "thick pages". Do you believe that makes it better quality? Oh, and do you go out of your way to collect all DM variants that are published? Sometimes I cannot help myself on that detail (Wolverine Omni volume 4 was quite the rabbit hole for me 😂).

I only upgrade some. Mainly first prints of heavy omnibuses. Those are heavier and tend to have issues with binding. Later editions and newer printings are a lot lighter and tighter.

☝️As ALL books go period, the 1st Print has the most value. So unless they add material, 1 time is enough

Generally I will not upgrade unless it's been improved w/ more material, like the Iron Fist by Faction omni. The only reason i would upgrade is if the colors are better or the paper is just too thick (a la my FF vol 1). I upgraded uncanny 2 just because it looked really blurry to me, which i thought was me, until I read some of my other ones and realized it wasn't my eyes, it was my copy.

I generally stick with the older printing unless there has been an improvement that warrants upgrading. That can be better binding, paper, or in the case of Captain Britain if they expand the content 🙌🏼

I just have started collecting Omnibuses since Covid 19, so I don't have that big collection of old printings. I had around 5-6 Omnibuses with old spines. There are still 2 Omnibuses for exchange (Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 4 and Might Thor Omnibus Vol. 3). After that, everything is updated. I wouldn't do this, if my collection would allready be bigger.

I always prefer newer printings, 'thinner' paper be damned. I didn't upgrade but just flat out got rid of ASM v1 because I hated how big and pointless it was. The only one I held my nose and kept was the Frank Miller DD volume since only the first print had the 'obi' wrap around it, but the binding is shit and I would've much rather had the little pic of DD on the spine that the regular editions got. Say no to old printings

I upgraded New X-Men because I absolutely hated the original printing; it was big, ugly and clunky, and the unreadable with the glue binding. I kind of laugh at the ebay sellers who think the original printing with 'better pages' is somehow an incentive to pay more; in my mind, having the book smaller and more compressed and easier to carry around is lightyears better than thick paper that looks awful for pre-2000s coloring. This bears out in how ebay is full of overpriced unwanted copies of the original NXM volume nobody wants that the sellers are in denial about, asking for over $200 lol.

I was lucky to get Captain America by Brubaker vol1-2-3 for good price. The 1st printings with with embossed words on the hardcover looks so much better than new printings. 1st printing of Ultimate Spider Man has red hardcover with embossed words, new one doesn't but it lines up perfectly with vol. 2. So if you have an ocd and you don't like how original doesn't line up with the vol. 2 - probably in the future vol. 3 and vol. 4 aswell, but you really like 1st printing of Vol. 1 it makes sense to have original and new printing of the same book.

How do you keep your books and dust covers from getting creases and tiny folds in the spin even when I don’t read them over time they seem to appear
@scorpionwins6378
Жыл бұрын
I remove the dust covers completely as I am reading. I noticed with one of my omnis as I was holding it in my lap that there were micro tears starting to form on the bottom of the spine. Good solution is to set aside the dust cover then place it back in when you are ready to shelf again.

For me, the only reason to upgrade anything would be remastered art for older material. I have a lot of the omnibuses for classic Marvel material, but I still buy the Taschen editions because they look way better.
