I don't mind buying sealed ones but almost always open mine to ensure that the steelbook is perfect. Also if it's sealed and especially with slip covers, you can't fully appreciate the different effects of the artwork nor feel the different textures.  |
That's usually what i do with all of my items, I usually open them with a set mind that i'm not going to sell them... but when the item is truly "rare" should one keep it sealed?
