The art on this is very good . I hope they make a complete collection book

Oh no … creepy bits? No thanks 😂

This is my favorite video I've watched from you! For me, space is the big issue I'm dealing with right now. You encouraged me to sell more comics now to clear up space. Thanks, Mitch! Great video! Great tips!

Hi from England, really good video, enjoy your content! Agree on much of this...been collecting for about 7 years and built a decent collection but space becomes an issue...now I've almost got a 1 in, 1 out policy, which helps fund new buys. And I only keep my favourites where I love the story and the art and love it being on my shelf. Also I keep a list of books i might want to buy, but then whittle it down as sometimes waiting on a purchase makes you think whether you really need it...! good stuff. Thanks!

This is good stuff. Due to finite space and finances I tend to ask myself two questions: Do I love this? Can I see myself re-reading it? If the answer is no I sell online or gift it to someone who would give it a happy home.

The Organ harvesters are a pretty wretched bunch...

Geiger is awesome 👌, great artwork and story

When you want to read something but don't want to buy it... thats what Libraries are for. I want them all, I love the art. It's hard to pick one up and not buy it... so apps to read like Hoopla & Libby are nice to save money.

I’ll tell you how I afford my comics, I don’t have any other hobbies 😂. But in all seriousness, I have to say no to about 75% of the books I am interested in and just get the ones I really want.

Great video, Mitch! For me it’s FOMO, Space, and Time… gotta start pulling those into the equation more. Always helpful to take a step back and re-access.

I started collecting a year ago and I started feeling like I needed to catch up since I started the hobby when I did and there was so many omnis out there! I ended up selling almost everything I bought because some of it wasn’t for me, now I only collect/buy what impacts me enough and something that’d be special to me. I’m also going to limit myself to buying 1-2 books a month

FOMO is a big one.. it’s absolutely dangerous and we’ve all been through it. One of the most solid videos I’ve seen from you Mitch, I love your honesty and transparency. Over the years I’ve cut back alot on buying and budget accordingly and buy what I love and not always what I want. I hope this helps out other collectors too. As usual your lighting and presentation is always on point bro. 🤘🏾

Thanks for sharing. You could try always your local library and see what graphic novels they have. And make suggestions for books that the Library would like to add to their catalogue.

My monthly budget means being specific with anything I want to get. So I’m still in for Tokyo Ghost (thanks for this channel), but to get it I’ll need to move a few things on. Which makes the purchase just that bit more special because I had to plan and work for it. In the meantime I have a buffer of Full Metal Alchemist which a friend has kindly leant me. I pay them back with homemade cake every five books so there’s always the borrow option as a budget option !

Thanks for the Well thought out Advise, I Agree in all of you said same goes for me not to play catch up with a series or missing out, I focus more on a genre side horror/thriller or Science Fiction/European Books & my go to Edition Deluxe Edition or Single Complete Hardcover that could be enjoy in a Fast Read I lemit my self 2 or 3 books for a month . This is A Great video for Advice for New Collectors or Just A New Readers who just starting Collecting

I’m constantly curating my collection. I read a ton, at almost 100 this year so far. If I dont see myself reading something else again then it’s in the for sale pile. As far as books being reprinted that’s not the case for a lot of what I’m reading. Which causes fomo. I read a lot of fantagraphics and smaller publishers

Budget?

I really enjoyed watching your video; it resonated with me deeply. I used to read comics regularly, but I realized that with so many ongoing series, it’s not worth accumulating too many in the house. So, I decided to stop and wait for the library editions instead. Then came the omnibuses, and I found that I really needed to be selective and picky about the titles I chose. I’ve limited myself to the ones I truly want to read and keep on my bookshelf. These days, there are so many great titles that I want to buy and read, but I’m trying to be more discerning by reading online reviews first. Space in my house is limited, and books are expensive in my country. I completely agree with you-what would happen to all these books if I’m gone? I don’t want to burden my family with that. I’ve also noticed that more and more books are getting printed, and without sponsorship,Hehehe, buying them can be very expensive for me. I used to get caught up in the fear of missing out (FOMO) and kept buying omnibuses, but I’m glad I realized that reading them can burn you out-they take a long time to finish. So, I’ve had to sit down and rethink things. I’m not a collector, so why was I buying books that I don’t think I’ll enjoy? That’s why I stopped. Your video today really hit home, and I wanted to thank you for that. Sorry Mitch for the super long comments. 😂

I agree that letting the hobby fund itself is a lot of work... plus it doesn't always works out.

Wow I identify with this. Not to mention the prices in Australia are crazy!!!

My Comics budget is $40 a month on issues, sometimes I do go over but I try to stick to my budget. I haven't abandoned single issues since I was 15, that was 30 years ago... I buy trades, HCs, and Omnis of stuff I missed out on or didn't know about as a bonus for my birthday and for Christmas. I also never sell anything, so yeah, I have 30 years worth of collecting and reading.

waaaay too close to the camera

Yeahhhhhh so definitely fomo. I see an Omnibus I’m interested in and immediately think “buy this right this second it will be out of print within the next 24 hours!!!”

Seriously great video Mitch! Solid advice. Budgeting helps me keep this hobby healthy for myself-I only wish I started years earlier 👏 Also likes the “drop books you aren’t enjoying” it can be so easy to horde but that’s also been a liberating thing for me. It helps fund the hobby, clear up space on shelves, and makes my collection feel more curated or tailored. Again fantastic video man 👏

Having collector friends is what helped me. I was THAT noob who bought everything i "thought" i wanted. Then I realized I'm not a fan of pre-80s books because they are too wordy. Needless to say, I had a lot of books to sell/trade. Now the great group of guys keep me on track, and also help me fund my hobby by trading omnis I've read for new books. Ahhh..... Omnibuds Café.... helping omnibus collectors stay within budget while also enabling us to keep buying for eight years running 😅

This is from now on my most favorite video of yours Mitch. It was like you said eveything that I myself would if I got to the topic. You presented the issue and stated your position perfectly. This was pure education, sound advice. And I think a wake up call for many that was a sleep on their potential problems with this hobby. Hats off to you, sir

Really good video!! Bunch of truth in here. I've made most of these mistakes and hopefully learned from them. I've even sold off everything and started over to take care of animals. Much smarter this round. I think, lol

Great video idea! A lot of important topics touched on and a lot of solid tips to follow if you’re a new collector. Oh and phenomenal lighting and video quality! But what’s new with that, that’s just a typical high quality Omnibuddy video!

Fomo is a dangerous beast.... gotta work on slaying that beast lmao. Awesome video!

My 5 yr old daughter LOVES the Shredders Revenge game on my PS5. And she enjoys the Nickelodeon show on Netflix. If nothing else, the TMNT allow me be young again and spend time with my Babygirl

I was collecting these but I think I’m gonna abandon ship haha just not into horror enough BUT these are still beautiful books and an incredible team! Great coverage and love you getting more eyes on this interesting concept they are doing

Love the design of these books. Great coverage. The art throughout is Breathtaking

Another Great Video! Great explaining what the series about Need to Add this to my Shelf Can't wait for Star Seed, Great Year to be A Horror Fan A Lot of Great Tittles this year. Mitch you should check out Gou Tanabe H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation of At The Mountains of Madness Deluxe Edition from Dark Horse faithful Adaptation, Similar themes of The Bone Orchard Mythos.

just ordered all 3-was hoping a collected edition would come out-but hearing they are an indefinite hiatus-loved Gideon Falls, so this pair together v appealing.

Massive Unboxing by Mitch I'm In! Bone Orchard Mythos Tenement is Blood looking Good with that Crimson Red & Black Cover is Great 😮 looking forward for the Overview

This seems like a VERY interesting read and I’m happy I picked it up. Omar got my attention on it during a hidden gem video but now with your coverage I’m even more sold!

This video was so helpful thank you for posting. I bought the last ronin and started last ronin 2 and completely hooked. I was overwhelmed at where to start but this helped ground me- thank you!

I remember buying my first pack of Star Wars cards when I was in the 5th grade in 1997 (Mall location). She's a pillar in this community.

Just got this today.. Thanks to Instocktrades.

Have you heard of saucer country

I've never heard of this book either you are with books how I used to be with Music , I was always listing to more underground none radio jams .

Sheesh what a haul bro ! My biggest book in my library is BIG DAMN SIN CITY.

The original is the best. The IDW run is good up till 100 where S.C took over and ran it into the ground, but up to that it’s good.
