Default Should this bother me?

I wanted to reach out to fellow collectors to see how they feel about this. I just got into collecting steelbooks and I just won this off of eBay.

[Show spoiler]


It was packaged wonderfully but the upper left hand corner is kind of bothering me. I know things will not be fully perfect and I was wondering what you guys would do. There were plenty of pics but the angle never showed that little dent in the slipcase.

Just wanted to know if I was crazy lol. There is a return policy with the seller as well.

Thanks!

Only you can answer that question. For what it's worth, I bought 2 from the GB here and 1 of them came with a similar corner....maybe they roughed up quite a few at the factory and this is common?

Very true and thank you for your response Maybe its my OCD lol, I know nothing's perfect to be honest. Most likely I won't even notice the corner in a day or two

I am curious though, you said there were plenty of pics but none had a picture of that corner? Seems to me it would be hard to get a pic of the front without it?

I agree with Lizard. You're the only one that answer your question. It doesn't look too bad to me, but I'm only looking at a picture.

Bought an expensive Rush Full Slip lately, showing similar "problems". The sellers should mention such defects, but nevertheless it does not bother me too much. Keep on collecting.

It's happened to me as well with hmv capt america. Had a massive set of scratches on it which wasn't listed seller listed it as in good condition. It wasn't good and I managed to get my money back on it

I know how you're feeling. Picked up a sealed A Nightmare On Elm Street steelbook on eBay, advertised as perfect. It arrived yesterday with a dimple in the front of the steel that is small, but still noticeable and it's driving me crazy. Also, it looks to me as though it was opened and resealed. I'm unsure how I'll handle it. But I'm not happy.

I have worse in my collection but if it bugs you enough you will sell it on for a mint copy-if you can find one...
