How Many Collected Editions Do You Own?
If you've been collecting for years, or decades, you may have a lot. I currently have 317 trades/hardcovers. It makes up my whole collection.
Everything from DC/Marvel superhero standards to TinTin books, Hellboy, the work of Dean Motter and even some bound collections.

Over 1000 books on my shelves, mostly Dc and Marvel superhero stuff, but some other stuff like complete sets of Peanuts box sets. Also over 50 comic boxes full of my floppies. 30 odd years of collecting adds up!

398 Omni/HC/TP and 6,568 single issues. Almost 90% of the Omni/HC/TP was purchased in the last decade, since I think is the best way to appreciate the artwork and stories (and the most economical method).
26 years of this wonderful hobby! Best regards from Mexico city!

Must admit I’ve cut right back...
Got about 80 Omni/Absolutes/HC/TP
Sold off slowly most of my floppies, but still got about 800-900 DC mainly from the 70’s and early 80’s which I’ll probably sell, though no immediate plans or need too.

I think it would be a bad idea for me to count them, but a lot

I stopped counting at 1000 a couple of years ago.
That includes trades, HC, omni, etc.

Too many. I don't have everything catalogued, but of what is catalogued, there's over 750 trades/hc/omni/comic strip collections (and over 11K individual issues).

I started collecting about 3 years ago so my collection is smaller - I have 221 Trade Paperbacks and 22 Omnibus/Hardcovers. No floppies.
