Mint condition floppies vs digital trade pile, my OCD picked one
After 14 years of bagging and boarding every single issue, I finally tried reading a full arc on my tablet last month. The digital version was easier to carry on the bus and I didn't panic when I spilled coffee near it. But I missed the smell of the paper and the ads for weird toys. Now I'm doing digital for new runs and only buying physical for artists I already love. Anyone else split their collection this way or am I the only one with a weird hybrid system?
The hybrid system makes total sense, not weird at all. I do the same thing but flipped: digital for the stuff I just want to read once, and floppies only for my top 5 titles and anything with a variant cover I can't resist. Coffee near the tablet is way less scary than coffee near a 30 year old X-Men, that part really hit home for me.
