In order to allow for smooth scrolling and loading, on multiple types of devices, we're asking our community to work with us to do the following:

3. Please use spoiler tags when posting more than one picture of the same steelbook.

Well the other 10% were bought unsealed from eBay, so I didnt really have a choice!

It does drive my girlfriend nuts! She doesn't mind me spending fortunes, but she can't really understand why I don't watch them. Then I made the example of the Zombieland steelbook, that's worth a lot more than I paid for it!

I agree with your girlfriend!! :hilarious:
 
One easy solution is to only spend a certain amount if you plan on opening it. I open all my steels so I refused to pay more than $75 for one because I want to see the inner artwork and watch the film.

I recently got Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from my sister in Canada and Expendables off ebay and I have Monsters Inc and Prince of Persia still coming. My sister is going to grab me a Chamber of Secrets this weekend and look at a different futureshop to see if she can get me a shelf.
 
My Resi Evil (Korea) finally arrived after ordering it online 3-4 weeks ago, brand spanking new:

Wanted debossed steelbook that arrived yesterday mint/sealed on my trilogy stand. I decided to put an extra poly sleeve around it for added protection. Another addition to add to my display:)

Great additions my friend. I just ordered the RE Korea as well so at least I know it comes in a box :) I like the old batman SB. That was one of the first ones I ordered:) Gives me memories in the old days.
 
The only way for them to at least hold their value, is to keep em sealed!

If your buying them for value then yes you want to keep them sealed. I buy them because I love movies and I love steelbooks so I get the best of both worlds, I get a movie and I get in in packaging I love. It's why I rarely double dip unless I really love the movie or really love the steelbook since I am going to be opening them. It's also why I keep a budget on my steelbooks since I know I will be opening them and depreciating their value.

Everyone collects for different reasons, I can't imagine not opening my steels. People will likely grimace when I open my Prince of Persia when it gets here.
