Collectors Rule!



I recently had dinner with Gris Grimly. The conversation turned to dark times for tactile media sales in our digital age. Records, CDs, tapes, DVDs, comics, magazines, books, paper photographs and hand-written notes are less convenient in almost every way than simple electronic transfers. So who will keep buying physical stuff when the rest of the masses have turned entirely to electronic diversions? Gris said it simply, "Collectors will keep things alive." Indeed, collectors may be the best hope for keeping classic media moving across our modern landscape... like the living dead. Good thing Baby Tattoo loves collectors (and zombies).
