Dealing with Post-Steelbook Scratch Syndrome

[BigNickUK]

Scratched and damaged steelbooks received, returned to online shops, received replacement

Manly man and crying into underwear seems like a contradiction to me

Hahahaha... Guys, I was just kidding about that. I'm not that crazy.

I've usually sent mine straight back for a replacement which is what happened when they came dented or anything from the retailer but thankfully they're using good packaging these days or have had a miracle.

I think my actions more than anything have had a few scratches occur on some of them. I think people would still firmly consider them in mint condition and the only one that really bothers me now is Akira. Theres a dent the size literally of the pen tip on a ballpoint pen and because it's silver in colour, it shows up like a brown stain on white underpants

Ever since that and the scratches that unintentionally occur, i've taken every single effort to make sure that i keep them just as good as they were when i opened them from the factory shrink wrap. I bought 100 protective plastic sleeves to help with any scratching issue as well as a external zipholder for the disks. I take them out of the open steelbooks and then seal the steelbooks up and put them away now safely tooked away in a box.

I'm now more a collector/investor in them. I love the artwork of them more than anything and whenever possible down the road will buy the amaray releases nice and cheaply. I'm not hoping the steelbooks appreciate to millions but hopefully a tidy someday it's worth passing along to my children for them to use the money from should they need to. Otherwise, i usually just buy a double copy like some on here. 1 for the collection, and 1 to keep. Alas, with the absolute ridiculous amounts of releases coming out, it's becoming unsustainable to keep at it with some releases, so i'm gonna have to wait it out.

For now though, i've got so many catalogue releases, these are staying sealed for the most part. only a 1/4 of the titles now seem to be opened and the rest hidden away from the world

Hahahaha. I'm happily unmarried mate, but my girlfriend actually helps buy some of my collection with me.
