I imagine the circle jerk comprised of collectors that commenced following this news was significant and led to multiple floods and drownings. While I'm not thrilled with the prospect of an unplayable boxset, (which is the case unless you own an 8-track player), the artifact(s) itself is something to look at. The cool factor is undeniable and there was certainly a lot of work put into it, but its impracticality runs strong.
That said, I still want one.
The set is due for release on November 25th. 5Seven Records is where to go get it.

Oh Sees have announced the release of their new box set of 8-track tapes. The box set will be a 12-album collection covering John Dwyer's work from 2008-2018. Each tape is a different album from The Oh Sees, Oh Sees and OCS and includes a zine and extra goodies.
"Only 100 hand numbered boxsets were made with only 60 going up for sale to the public. It took us well over a year to make these 100 sets, so this is the first and final edition of this massive boxset. Every 8-track cart in this collection was reconditioned by hand from 40+ year old cartridges and each album is on a specific color and hand numbered cartridge. No expense was spared making this limited boxset with original artwork by ELZO DURT, and which includes 130 songs and over 8 hours 21 minutes of music. The release includes a 36 page zine (with the making of the release, 8-track history, album information, band posters and more), a limited edition 5"x7" photo signed by JPD, & some extra goodies (3" patch, stickers, buttons)."
