How do you display/store your collection?

I have all my slipcovers/Blu-ray books on a separate shelf from my regular Blu-ray cases as I believe it looks more uniform.

This thread started in epic fashion, and has turned into the very thing it argued against.

I used to like having slipcovers on my discs, but what burned me out was how fucking ridiculous the collectors have gotten, the values they put on the god damned worthless pieces of paper, and the status symbol some of these assholes think they have with these things. I've sold some for over 20 bucks a pop, and I just shake my head, these people would rather have a piece of paper to lie to themselves that they got in on the first run, than have, I dunno, another movie, or more funds in the bank account for emergencies.

I suppose it all boils down to this: none of those assholes on Blu-ray.com will bother with slipcovers when they have to move out of their parents' homes and pay their own way. Until then, their obsession will hopefully keep their genetics in their pants or on wads of tissue (or, dare I say, a Dracula slipcover). I doubt any non-psychotic woman wants anything to do with someone as mental as these kids.

I really wish this thread would have popped up sooner. I tossed 10 or so slipcovers last week. Some duplicates, movies I have sold, crappy art, etc. It seems I can fit a whole extra blu ray case on my shelf if a whole row is slipcover free. Who knew. I would have taken a pic of my trashcan and posted it over at bluray.com :)

How do you find out which ones are worth something? I would totally sell some if it's worthwhile.

BTW, I have the Casino Royale slip-cover in a pile that's about to go into the trash. Should I try to sell it instead?

A lot of times, they just make the DVD/Bluray look nicer. I just upgraded my X-Men DVDs to Bluray and I can't tell you glad I was to see that the new editions have slipcovers so they match my Blu of First Class. I was going to buy them either way, but it's just nicer when they have a similar shelf presentation.

But I'm not psychotic about it. You should see my Godzilla collection, it's a mix of DVDs and Blus, and some of the DVDs are in those book style cases, some in regular cases and some in thinpacks. Because of all the distribution rights being with different labels, there's no way to get a uniform presentation so I just deal with it. (If I could print my own custom covers I would, but I have yet to own a printer at home that could handle printing those).

And I think you guys really need to lighten up. It's a hobby, it's like trading baseball cards. As long as your not letting your kid starve to death to buy a rare slipcover, then what's it to you?

thirteen minutes of slipcovers? Dude, get out of your parents basement and get a life. Oh wait. The chicks really dig slipcover collections, I forgot.

It rubs the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again.
