I love this enigma - the value does not, on the whole reflect the scarcity - it reflects the perceived scarcity and the desirability built around myth..

Smoke and mirrors

A bit like women walking into a bar - if the 'leader' of a group of guys passes a comment that she is desirable the other guys follow the lead and she ranks up a few notches on the overall desirability scale - men frequently find attractive women that other men have declared attractive whether they are or not...

Wise words especially compared to my 'Completely agree'. Like mirrors edge compared to NFS. So much more common.

I prefer Elena over Chloe any day... Chloe's a trouble maker... It's the reason she's been given dark hair while Elena is all blond hair and blue eyes....

Jugo's original group buy for the belgian stickerbooks

http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ead.php?t=7600

In it jugo claims that 550 copies were produced of each stickerbook

He also states that he has verified that the stickerbooks are real authentic steelbooks produced by Scanovo

Ipso Facto I believe whoever jugo contacted at scanovo gave away the number produced even though they're not really supposed to

For the Italian steelbook,

I believe the MOQ (Minimum order quantity) has been vastly reduced in the last couple of years

It used to be at bare minimum 4000 at one point but I do not remember where I saw that although it seemed like it was a legitimate source

However there was a steelbook produced exclusively to be sold at comic-con last year for the movie sucker punch

It was limited to 900 copies I believe but it is most certainly 1000 or less and this is most certainly not a stickerbook but a true steelbook

Hence the MOQ has most likely come down to around 1000 or so

Therefore I think steelie collecting might get interesting in the next couple years

Also Elena is far hotter than chloe

Yes I totally agree with this

I've gotten a couple extra copies of the belgian killzone stickerbook and while I've managed to sell two so far, I think they're worth far more than I'm asking considering what people pay for SSX and Ken's Rage etc. and how much rarer it is then those

Honestly I think the average steelbook collector doesn't know anything about these steelbooks and therefore doesn't consider them rare

I mean with the dead island stickerbook being so popular you would think people would understand that more stickerbooks have been produced sigh

One really good listing on eBay that goes high worldwide and all the collectors will be crying out for them...

When I was new to collecting steels a steelbook for black ops was listed on eBay uk that looked a little weird to me so didn't bid. Think it went for about 22 Gbp. I now know it was the mediamaarkt Nl exclusive..

I still see the listing in my mind in the stilly watches of the night....
