Had to chime in here. I'm one of those Star Wars hardcore collectors as you say. Yes, I have numerous figures, dolls, toys sealed. But that is completely different from art books or signed memorabilia.
I just recently went through this discussion with a few good friends. I own all of the Titan exclusives gaming art books with signed lithographs. When I first got them I couldn't open them, that little innocuous collector tick wouldn't let me. But friend's told me 'hey you bought an art book, with signed art inside. You spent all the money just to look at the cover?'. And they're right. Keeping toys sealed is one thing, keeping limited art or signed things sealed is completely different.
