Started collection

[u/NoWriter6334]

Listened to some of the new audio books, but they were kinda bad. I also watched some of the classic show and the movies and I liked those. I bought this tin and say cheese and die has been great so far. I’m on chapter 15 as of making this post.

Honestly this is a great way of collecting the nostalgic pieces. I don't understand the vintage aspect a lot. Collecting 1st editions or older versions doesn't make much sense to me unless you want the inserts specifically. If you wanna enjoy the book get a new copy. Life is so uncertain. You won't feel bad if you can't move out with these as you can always buy the tin again at your new address (at least until it is in print). You don't need to worry about insurance. You don't need to worry about how you open the book because it is fragile. You don't have to worry about germs and stuff. So I prefer them new. I think I am one of the few here.

No harm getting a 1st edition collection if that is what you want. But some people chasing it just cause others are.

I just started recollecting Goosebumps and it's hard asf to find any in the wild anymore but when I was a kid they were everywhere at thrift stores. I'd probably buy these as long as they have the original cover art because that art is untouched but I like thrifting and the hunt is part of the fun as well as getting a deal. I don't know how much this collection is but I just bought 8 books for 16 dollars and I'm trying to grab up as much goosebumps as possible.

Yes I understand what you mean. But some people are going crazy about having the literal first print of the book (by first print I mean the copies that got printed out of the machines as the first batch and not the OG cover itself- apart from the last few books EVERY book was printed a number of times with the OG cover). It is more like following the crowd for vintage stuff- I find it hard to believe that everyone wants a first print first edition collection when many people didn't even know about the editions as a kid... IDK

Are these printed in India according to the inside publication page? I’m curious because they look just like the Indian reprints but I don’t think they’d use those in the tins.

It says it was printed in Dongguan City, china

Cool! They’re probably better quality than the Indian ones lol
