I apologize for being frustrated and maybe a bit exaggerated but I was indeed frustrated at the time.
A lot of us on this forum have other hobbies outside our collected editions habits. Me, personally, I spend a decent amount of my time running and weight lifting while at the same time tracking my speed, pace and weight increments.
I do enjoy my other hobbies but they still don't come close to my love for comics. There's secondary hobbies and then there is comic books. Comics is THE hobby that I obssess about on a daily basis. I frequently checks these boards on a daily basis and like a lot of our forum friends here I spend time compositing lists. I have my own arrangement of lists and data that I maintain for my collection.
So lets put the masterworks in perspective here. I have every one of them. I cannot say it any better then someone else here said. Lets use a metaphor for instance.
If I spent, oh let's say, roughly $35 a volume for 200 masterwork volumes up to this point I have accrued probably over $7,000 on just my masterworks themselves. $7,000 is enough to buy a used car. Would you purchase a used car with one fender a different color compared to the rest of the car? I certainly think not.
Up to this date I have almost 3,000 graphic novels. The masterworks are my crown jewel of them all. The only ones that I would gladly stop purchasing all else in order to maintain and continue.
So yeah. I think everyone of us here had every right to be completely pissed about Marvels decision to just change the masterworks spine design.
As Bonanza said we spend more time viewing the spines of our collection then the actual contents. The masterworks are supposed to be a comprehensive classy collection of our favorite titles of yesterday.
