*For retailer-specific chat, please visit the new Retailer Steelbook Zone here
This is a thread for those new to the hobby or those with general questions about collecting Steelbooks, including retailer-specific questions.
To keep things organized, please keep all trading talk in the Trading forum, and search for specific Steelbooks for more specific title-specific questions.
I am sure our seasoned members are happy to provide assistance, so please don't be afraid to ask-we all started this addiction somewhere. Regardless if your collection is small or large, someone here can probably help.
Have fun!
