Talking steelbooks collectors holy grail question

I'm more or less a newbie when it comes to steelbook collecting..i see how mirrors edge was difficult to obtain and has amassed a "cult status" following...just wondering if besides mirror's edge..are there other steelbooks that get people to go bonkers...or are just as hard to obtain?...i've heard a lot of hype for mirror's edge..and a lot of speculators out there..who buy a certain steelbook..believe it would be the next big thing and it really is'nt..one example i can site is uncharted 3 italian steelbook...not too hard to obtain...not very expensive..but was initially hyped for it being italian exclusive and one retailer exclusive..and people talked about shortages..all of a sudden resellers on ebay had dozens a few months later..and were selling around 25 euros a piece..so if anybody can name or show pics of steelbooks right up there with mirrors edge,.i would love to hear or see them!..thanks.

NFS Undercover from Spain




Saints Row 2 G2 from Germany (Actual steelbook, not metal tin)




Saints Row 2 G2 actually sells for more than Mirror's Edge in some cases as Mirror's Edge pops up far more often

Edit: Man I gotta stop adding pictures, can't beat anyone to the post

Also not my pictures, would love them to be but not mine

I'm going with those already mentioned...

I have Mirror's Edge, Saints Row 2, ACII stickerbook and NFS Undercover but it took me a long while...

But I don't have Black Ops or GT stickerbooks

And I would also add the Resident Evil Silver Tricell....
