I haven't tried those, but Penzler has also put together giant collections of older material by established authors--e.g.,
The Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps, and
The Black Lizard Big Book of Black Mask Stories.
Also,
Downpour.com has 11 collections of Black Mask stories for $5.95 apiece. That was initially advertised as a sale price, but they've stayed that price for months.
