Sealed vs Open

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Back on topic, I am especially paranoid about scratching my SteelBooks, therefore I like to keep these sealed out of fear of damaging them. I can usually obtain a cheap standard copy at a later date if I really want to play the game, but a lot of the CE's I have in my collection I only have because it was a CE, and I wouldn't have bothered with the game if it wasn't for that fact

And it's always there to open and play if I ever changed my mind, which to me is better than trying to search for a specific game in five or ten years time. It's there ready for me at any time I want, but in the meantime it just looks good on the shelf! Mind you, I have a backlog of well over 1,200 sealed games already, so chances are I will never get around to playing most of them in my lifetime - Perhaps somebody will appreciate them in the future when i'm gone?
