New to collecting steel books

[Mdk14092]

At 37 I'm not sure why it took me so long to start collecting limited blurays/movies. I've always had a big movie library, and have always loved any limited edition packaging with all the cool art. 

 

At this point with around 300 movies it's far to late to upgrading my entire library so ivy been focusing on just getting the limited full slips (when possible) of my favorites.  I was worrying about the cost of getting things second hand off eBay but do to the cost of shipping from certain companies like kimchidvd and others the total amount paid is about the same

 

After doing a bit of searching MP seemed like the perfect place to get more serious about collecting.  There are some things slightly confusing to me, for example to be a supporter do I just buy a tier. Or do I have to buy and confirm? I'm sure I'll get figured out in no time and look forward to sharing this awesome hobby with others!

 Hi @Mdk14092, welcome to your MP "nightmare", hold tight onto your wallet💲 ... just kiddin', I glad you found your way here on the MP forum! 🎬

 

You will not find any better peeps then on here, and make sure you join a GB (GroupBuy) that you absolutely know you want that edition, because (with a few exceptions) you are not allowed to back out once joined. Do not be afraid to tag our leaders below and if I can help you in any way just tag me @Veum!

 

I found out, if you decide to join several GBs, make a spread-sheet to note all the GBs you join (it has saved me tremendously).

 

There are still some Gold  (my preference) Premium Membership - MP Tiered Memberships still available and a few Silver available in the MP Store ... as of this writing, it can change at any moment though, so jump on one if that is what you want. You do not have to buy a Membership to participate in GBs, however IMHO, I would, to get some of the benefits from that tier.
