Question- Commercials - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey all!
I'm still very new to trading TV shows and was wondering what shows are generally worth without commercials. I honestly dont care whether mines have commercials so most of mine dont. But browsing here I seem to get the impression that that attitude isn't going to get me anywhere. Should I start attempting to get my shows with commercials in order for them to be worth trading?

Hello -

I can't speak for everyone, but from my experience (and my own personal preference) uncut broadcasts with original commercials tend to be in high demand. Vintage commercials tend to be just as entertaining and nostalgic as the programs they accompany.

Just my insights on the subject! Best of luck in your search!

So if I'm gonna be trading i might as well go for commercials so that theyre more tradeable?

I guess my reasoning behind it is this - unless the item isn't available through other avenues, it probably won't matter to the collector whether or not it has commercials. But it's probably good to have some things with original commercials intact, because there definitely is a collectors' base for that (myself included).
