I think that if these steelbooks actually become long term collectables the new IAL would have no effect on the value of the original. They do reprints of rookie sports cards and comics all the time. Just because they look the same does not make them rookie cards. There is even huge difference between the 2 with and without the blue border. A true collector would always want the original whether it be IAL or Iron Man or which ever steelbook, no matter how many reprints are out there. I just worry about the market flooding with too many steelbooks in general.
