Default How/Where do you store Steelbook cards?

Just wondered where you guys store your cards/sheets of info that come with your steelbooks?

I'm storing them in those transparent sleeves with the steelbook itself atm, but some of them are different shapes and sizes etc, and on the shelf they look a bit out of place :S

I usually fold them in half and put it in the case with the rest of stuff.

I always wondered this myself. I just bought Les Misérables and I still have it in shrink wrap. So I suppose we fold them?

I hoard enough stuff. I don't need to hoard cardboard from steelbooks I'll never sell. Even if I have to sell them, at some point, for every one of you that wouldn't buy without the cardboard, there's someone out there who will (like me because I don't care). To each their own.

I just don't understand why you'd knowingly reduce your target market for the sake of a 1mm thickness piece of card. I've got 60 steelbook cards now and they take up two steelbook polybags on my bookshelf. All together, they're thinner than one of the newer Harry Potter novels.

I sort of see it in similar fashion to keeping slipcovers. For some people, it doesn't really matter and they throw it out as it gets in the way, and others like myself want to keep everything in tact. I wonder if people sell j-cards on e-bay?

I trim them so it fits inside the steel book itself.

I don't like them but right now I leave them on there. I think I might get a box and put them all in it. Then if I were to ever trade with somebody they can have it if they want.

I thought everybody does that, I know I do. Also, if you don't like it wrapping around at the top, you could just flatten it and have it as a one-sheet at the back. Throwing it away, or folding it in half, is losing some of the collectable worth. Down the road you might have wished you have kept those mint card backings.

I made a mistake on my first two steelbooks when I first started collecting, scarface and devils double, ripped up the j-card and threw it in the bin. How I regret doing this now. Kept all of them since
