that is great idea to number steelbooks. Just think about it. How much would John Rambo Uncut steelbook nr1 cost? Or Iron Man FS nr1 or any other steelbook. All the excusive edition should have it printed outside steelbook. Well, of course very small print

Nope, they just sent out in random.
Glad you got your copy isn't it ?

Would they have been sent out in order of who ordered first? I got one of the last 7 copies when they came back on sale so wondering if I've got 994 or so!

So beautiful.

That slip is just perfect. Want this steelbook very badly!

 

[homeboxoffice]

The lowest, from a Blufans member,

So , lets say the Chap has number 1 ..

Does this mean his steel books is Worth Mega Bucks now ??

Remember he has Opened it

He has commited the Cardinal Sin & Opened it

So , by the Laws of most H D Ninja's its worthless now

Regardless if opened or not, #001 is pretty cool to have. Just like numbered concert posters or baseball/football trading cards, the lower the serial number, the more attractive and presumably...worth more. This leaves people with a dilemma on wheter to open or not, but I think #001 HAS to be worth more opened than a regular sealed copy, as there can only be one #001.

Now I don't have to open mine

it's worth more, imo. Under normal circumstance an unopened copy is worth more than an opened one, obviously, but having the confirmed #1 copy is definitely more important than having a sealed copy.

Yep having number 1 makes it far more valuable than any other sealed copy. I think collectors would pay a huge premium to get this.

Got Mine!!!!! ;D

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Its a lovely looking steel

bit like Let The Bullets Fly with Booklet that is Open I supose ?? ey ??

1 good thing that has come of this is that no one will have to guess what Number you have any more

Is the serial number printed anywhere else other than the stickers? If not then its not the steelbook thats valuable but the stickers, right?

Hypothetically if I had #0001 and the steelbook got damaged I could buy another copy and put the stickers in that copy and no one would know.

 

[Soundeath]

Got mine through Masterblaster GB
I'm so so pleased with it.
Worth the long waiting

Well, I hope the one that done this is not one of our ninjas.

Hi Alex

What I'm trying to say is that if #0001 Rio went on sale, it would be "An opened copy of a Rio steelbook with #0001 sticker" and not "THE #0001 Rio steelbook". The two are completely different and I would say steelbook value wise they are complete different also. There would be no way to authenticate that the steelbook is in fact the one with #0001 stickers originally inside it. Therefore, how can it be worth more than any other Rio?

Top_cat2's post summed it up perfectly. A classic catch 22 situation

Well, I hope the one that done this is not one of our ninjas.

Which is why I would think that a number on this really is pointless. You could also do the same thing with a Korean steel or TW steel. As long as you have the slip.

The minute you open the steel the value crashes.
