[2004] Do you take care of your OBI's?
 

I recently thought I'd lost -all- my OBI's, Y'see I got sheets of card and cat little slots to fit the OBI's in and then I put the OBI's in a folder. Then the folder went missing I couldn't find it..I was devistated. -but-. My mother found them this morning. Yay! There's one problem though I don't have the OBI for my Koda Kumi - Love across the ocean CD ;_;

I was just wondering who here takes care of all their OBI's? Or do you just throw them away?

No OBI no life. And not to mention alot of Singles' tracklists are ON the OBI, Ayu ones in particular.

I keep them all in a box while some remain on the CD, but I definately don't lose ANY of them.

I just leave them in the CDs :yes

I love the OBIs... see in Germany this is something very special and I always keep the OBIs because I think they are important. Especially when a CD is copy controled... I still wonder if it works with I-Pod...

ja ne

when i first bought jpop cds i didnt know wot that piece of card was, i was like huh? but it was my first trip to japan and my first jpop cds so they were special (ayu one especially) so i kept those obi's as souvenirs and now i found out wot they are and that they're part of 'collecting' im pretty glad i did :)

I keep mine all together...

When I first started getting JPOP cds I didn't know about them so like 5 of my CDs are OBI-less but all the ones I get now are safe.

I have plastic sleeve type things that fit over the corner of the cd and holds the OBIs...they're called OBI protectors or something. Except Ayu's recent stuff...the OBIs are too large to fit. :(

what are obi's are those the paper thing on the sides?

These? I throw them away...I'm not a collector so I throw everything but the lyric booklet, cd and case! :P

I keep them, but I've already lost a few cause me dad confused them for something else and threw them away. >_<

i have only I am... obi with that cute ayu pic. what about the others? I throw them away 'cose i don't need that at all

I keep them in the CD case.
But I lost my Duty one!! *cries*

i'm wondering what they are also -_-

if they like you say the paper thing on the sides of the Cd's ...then yeah i keep all my ^_^

I've kept mine. Mine are all overseas ones.

I have:

&
RAINBOW
a-nation SUMMER POWER VOL.1 (lost-I didn't know wut it was and tossed it)
a-nation SUMMER LOVER VOL.2 (lost-didn't know wut it was and tossed it)
a-nation REMIX MIX VOL.3
a-nation J-POP 50 Hits Tracks VOL.1-(^)
a-nation J-POP 50 Hit Tracks VOL.2-(^^)

Argh.

LOL I'm a little obsessive when it comes to my CD collection and the way I open my CDs are I cut along one side and slide out the CD and the obi and KEEP the plastic so when I'm done listening and looking at the CD I slip the CD and Obi back into the plastic just like when I bought it so it looks brand new hahaha I know I'm a freak ^__^

Are obis suposed to be important? I got tatu cd from japan (very expensive for a cd with 3 songs)...and threw away the obi =\ eh.

I keep them safely :)

I started saving mine only after I threw away the "I Am.." one.. :cry

i usually buy used, but i'm happy when they bring the OBIs :), the CDs that i've bought brand new *which aren't many, maybe like 4* don't have then because i didn't know what they were for when i bought them.
