Do you keep the cardboard packaging backing from your steelbooks and box sets? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

I keep them in case I need to sell a steelbook later.

sk33tr · 02-24-2017, 04:06 AM

initially i kept them all, but now i just throw them away. the ones i've kept are in a box somewhere and i'm not going digging for them just to throw them out.

and i didn't keep them for resale value, just.....i honestly don't know why. i just did.

Any tips on removing the glue from the J cards to help preserve them and keep them from sticking to each other if you store them all together? I'm worried about trying to remove the glue and ruin them but at the same time worried they will get ruined if I leave the glue on.

I tried to keep them at first but they got annoying and pointless to me as time went on so I said screw it.

Use a hair dryer to heat up the glue. Make short, quick passes over the glue for about two minutes. Hope this helps.

I have all mine in a folder.
Mainly because if I ever need to sell them on one day (not that it would matter)
And also because I can’t bring myself to ditch them either

Late bump, but does anyone have the jcard for German Full Metal Jacket and Point Break?

I would like to amend my earlier answer. After accumulating an enormous stack of these and never looking at them, I put them in the recycling bin.

I keep them. They stay with the steelbooks in plastic sleeves.

I keep them, folded up inside the steelbook.
For the card attached to the back on cases (like Arrow's Waterworld box, and the Batman: TAS set), I leave them on, as they don't interfere when opening the box.

I keep them stored in a box but I guess one day I will throw them out as I see no use for them but... you never know!
