Started collecting in the late 90’s/early 00’s. Fell off the wagon & stopped collecting when blu-ray came out because I got annoyed that I was feeling like collector’s were getting nickel and dime’d for having to re-buy titles we spent so much money buying in the DVD era to get the “better” quality experience, or not having blu-ray upgrades for DVD titles that went out of print or were hard to find at that time. Eventually saw the inevitability of the trend and accepted my fate and began collecting again when 4Ks started coming out en masse. Sadly, I had let go of some of my collection of DVDs by that time between house moves and life stuff, so my collection in it’s current form is me playing catch-up and rebuilding/re-buying & upgrading titles to Bluray and 4k versions. I’m getting to the point now that I’m starting to slow down the acquisition of so many titles now, as I’m slowly pivoting to curating my collection to titles I love, instead of trying to acquire everything, like I did back in the day. Cheers!
