What do you do with the info cards?

[iheartsteel]

I'm relatively new to steel book collecting. As my collection grows I'm getting more and more frustrated on what to do with the info sheets/cards! I'm currently keeping them with the steelbook in a clear plastic sleeve wrap. However some of the card loops that freely move up and down the steelbook such as predator/Prometheus/terminator don't fit in the sleeves very well and cover the spine partly!

I was just interested in how and where other people keep their info cards?

I'm thinking about getting a little box to save them all in incase I ever want/need to sell/trade them in the future!

I throw them in a box and forget about them. The only reason I keep them is in case I decide to sell the Steelbook. A lot of collectors prefer to have them, but it doesn't really bother me. The information on the data sheet is freely available on forums like this so I don't need them.

I do the same, take them off and put them all together away from the steelbook

You never know when you might need it!

I think I'm going to go with keeping them in a box for safety! The steelbooks look so much sexier without them

As said by other members i keep them you never when they might be needed if you sell or trade at a later date

I really like the data sheets, as they allow me to open the shrink wrap with a knife
Afterwards, I throw them away

Do you throw them away because you never plan on selling them? Do you think not having the info card will affect the resale price massively?

I always keep mine with the Steelbook! The only time I don't keep them is when they are paper and are ripped or torn when removing them from the Steel.

I don't think it would make a huge difference to the resale price but it would affect it. A lot of collectors like to have the Steelbook and data sheet together, if there was no info card I'm sure it would put some people off.

Thanks for that. I defo wont throw away the one's I have. I have got some off eBay without the data sheet so no choice there. I will stow them away safely because I'm starting to not like them covering some of the steelbook experience!

If the language is english or finnish I keep them. If not, I throw them away.

I keep them all in a box separate from the steelbooks. You never know when you may need them plus I think the steelbooks look better without them.

I keep them all in a box as well...I like to see the back artwork of the steel!

 

[kitsunisan]

I toss mine. When I buy a steelbook or collectors edition it's because it's something I really want and wouldn't think to sell later on.

Personally, I throw them away, keeping it with the steelbook is silly IMHO. It's like buying the latest smartphone and using one of those cheap plastic $1 covers. I like to see the beauty of the steelbook in its entirety.

 

[Grapey]

I just throw them away as well. I more often than not I open the steelbook to look at the beauty of it (rather than to watchthe film) so don't want to cover it up again. I have no reason to keep it either.

At begining I kept them in the steelbooks, but now I throw them directly to the trash

Complete accessories is a factor in terms of trade and resell.

Having been opened is a different thing - that causes major downfall in resell factor.

 

[Seraphime]

Like most people I keep them in a box.

Dont really want to sell mine on but who knows what is around the corner in life so i keep mine seperate in a container in case one day i have to sell sell them.
