Anybody else like me, that haven't opened your steelbooks movies?

There are some steebooks I refuse to open.
Indiana Jones, Transformers ROTF, Iron Man MM..
A whole lot more. But like the Alliance steels Sin City and Memento I've opened mainly cuz I have no desire to sell them. Have to keep in mind they do lose a bit of value when opened. Yet it's awesome to open and see the inside of a steel that has gorgeous artwork. It's a dilemma. You could always buy 2 of each like I do at times, but a fortune is what it costs

i open all my steelbooks. i just think they look better without the cardboard on it and all that. i however do not watch the movies they are in cause i buy reg Blu's to watch and steels are just for collecting. i have yet to open salt but thats due to the fact i'm not sure if i'm going to like the movie or not. if i like it i will open it and keep it in my collection, if i dislike someone on here will be getting it

Javo makes a good point, there certain steels that you just can't open but regular steel like Alliance, or Warner steels are ok since they are only like $20-25 anyways...and it does cost a fortune especially for Javo he probably receives like 90 steelbooks a week or at least it seems like it..lol

I wish I only bought 2 of each.

What about you?

that's still OK ;p ,

most of my steelbooks are sealed, i think around 15-20 are opened out of 190's steelbooks pretty OCD however lately, starting to sell one by one let go of the double - triple dip

I hope someday to have as many steelbooks in my collection as some of you have. Im so addicted now.

if you keep them sealed,i recommend that you keep it that way because if you open them,more than 50 % of those will have imperfections that will just ruin it for you big time.
i myself,open them

if i want to watch the movie, i have to open my steelies. cant afford two copies. i buy them cause i like the movie and look great on my shelf. its like when i was collecting comic books back in the 80s. we all thought these overpriced and overprinted comics would be worth something one day (granted - some are). dont get me wrong, i love my steelies, but if people think these tin cases are going to be worth something in 20 years, think again. you wanna make an investment - buy stocks, bonds, or cds.

Maybe not in 20 years, but in the short run they dont seem to lose you money anyway.
I still have a DVD of Army of Darkness Limited Canadian edition, 1 of 4000 made. Seems it is rare and prices from $50 to $150 on ebay.
Until they come up with a new video format I think the limited runs the steels have will make the value only go up.
