I started collecting in 1975. I still have most of them which means my basement is crammed. . . .but in a neat and compulsive way. This is horrible. This takes the collectability right out of the hobby. It's like having a stamp collection on the internet. Horrible. I collected these books for the love of the hobby, but knowing that they are now all but worthless offends me. It's bad enough that the have to put collective works of everything now, but this just stinks. For the first time in 30+ years, I am considering putting an end to the weekly drain on my bank account.
