I try to keep a series going if I have slipcovers from the start, but if I get it later then I'm not too concerned. But mostly I've resigned myself to knowing I won't get those. even though there's some 4K releases that I couldn't get at the time that I wish I could get slips for. I like mine to be in the best shape, sure, but if I'm not buying it the first week then I'm not going to worry about the slipcover after that. I'm sure eventually everything will become MOD and then we won't have to worry about slipcovers lol Sometimes I wish that companies stop making slipcovers, I'm going to complain? for sure but my wallet will be happy I'm on the same boat and funny thing I was talking to a friend about this(he collects slipcovers too) and we talked about we sure would save a lot of money if we didn't hunt those precious pieces of cardboard in mega mint condition
