I sometimes get into this with my friends. I am a fan of Trade Paper Backs (I don't believe in collecting) Some of my friends prefer singles with bags and boards. Just wanted to know What do you all think?

It's really circumstantial. If there's a story you love following every month, issues it is. If there's a series you want to collect just for the sake of collecting (sort of like me w/ Kelly's Deadpool), issues. But if there are stories you're not in a rush to get to and you're really interested in them, TPBs make it worth the wait and easier to read at once. It also makes re-reading your back material far simpler.

I prefer trades. For me, it is all about saving space and getting the entire arc in one convenient package.
Space saving is actually the big reason I am so pro-digital.

Trades always, because I hate being stuck on a "to be continued" I want a complete story or arc. And I don't have the time or patience to track down every issue of a story.

I buy singles, but will buy stuff I really like in trade when it comes out. I like having books to look forward to every week and I like hitting the comic shop to pick-up my stuff. That said, my trade collection is definitely growing as well.
