Do you mind it if guests handle your collection?

[swaseem]

First I really feel priviledged to own steelbooks in my collection. Its a joy to have friends and family over to enjoy a picture or two. But on occassion after supper when a cousin or a sibling saunter over to the collection and begin to browse I tend to draw the line. I almost always insist on handling them myself to select whatever the crowd wants to watch.

I always gleem at the shelf appeal of my steels and limted editions but get uptight at others just reaching into the cabinet as if thinking nobody'd mind. Its a tough call. Am I being anal? I know there must be a more graceful approach.
