Steelbooks are such a good idea. I love the format with the rounded edges and the steel part just ages better than paper (as long as they don't get bent in shipping as you showed). Plus thoughtful art is great!
We love steelbooks 572 in our collection. We bought some Picture Ledge Wall Shelfs so we have enough room to display about 100 so we can display the back or fronts and enjoy not just the film but also the art work.. You have nice collection thanks for sharing!!
I place the J cards upside down to protect the bottom of the steelbook from shelf wear. My favorite steelbooks are Flash Gordon from Zavvi and the Back To The Future trilogy which can be placed side-by-side to make a delorean.
I only get a steelbook when it’s either cheap or if it’s a must have movie and there’s no other version. For example, Reservoir Dogs on 4K only received a steelbook here in the U.K. and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 4K Steelbook was on heavy discount late last year. The art can look nice but like you said, they dent easily. I hate J-cards on steelbooks though, they just get in the way but I keep them. A steelbook with nicely designed clear slipcase can be really nice.
Hey Dave, I really like some of those steelbooks. That Santa Clause one looks cool and those Universal Monsters do as well. Some of my favorites were La La Land, Sleepy Hollow, Ran, Warm Bodies and Haunted Mansion. I always pick them up in store so I can check them out. Great stuff!
My favorite steelbook is one I picked up with Ran, but it may only be my favorite because I don't own that Jaws steelbook. And yes- I save all my j-cards and keep them in a drawer. Y'all have a good one.
Love The Invisible Man steelbook. I'm curious to know what you think of the newest interpretation with Elizabeth Moss. I felt it brought a fresh spin on the classic.
I don’t seek out steelbooks but I have a handful (maybe as many as you, probably not) because they were the version I came across or that was on sale. I always fold the j-card and put it in the box.
Steel books I have are: Dune, Psycho, Atlas Shrugged II, & III (Plain Copper & Plain Gold. Not great films, but I like owning them)... Psycho has lost some paint: BETTER GET A SLEEVE. You are right: STEEL BOOKS ARE NICE!! Are their Criterion or MOC steel books? LOVE THE LAURENCE OF ARABIA steelbook!!! IMHO

Yes, I love the thoughtful art and overall design. Might need to get a few more this year.

Thanks! Wow, great that you have so many steelbooks. I’m hoping to pickup more this year.

Oh good to know for the J cards. Thanks so much for the recommendations.

Same here and completely agree with your thoughts on steelbooks and J-cards.
I haven't seen Lonesome Dove forever! I need to pick that up to rewatch! I usually lay the J cards flat and put them in the file cabinet folder.
Same here, I keep my J-cards piled on another shelf. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Thanks and I so appreciate the recommendations. Might need to head to the store more often this year to pick up a few more steelbooks.
I keep the J-cards in a separate folder in one giant pile. I like having them for reference. Nice collection!
Thanks. I’m glad I’m not the only one keeping J-cards. 😀

Thanks Steve. I have a blu-ray of Ran but have seen that steelbook which looks amazing! Hope you have a great week.

Thanks! I like the classic Invisible Man and wasn’t a fan of the newest interpretation.

Same here, I don't typically seek out and just usually pickup when on sale. I do also sometimes fold the J-cards and keep them with each film.
Dave hey. Yes I’m definitely interested go on more on your channel more and more
