I'm on the same side of your german collector friend.
I think this issue falls on one debate we had in 2001, the "data perservationists vs collectors" talk (on the archives under the subject: "[SWCollect] Data or Packaging...which is more valuable?")

Fascinating stuff, Jim, and well explained for us less technical collectors.
Your paragraph on disk rewrites made me think of something I've brought up
briefly in one or more of my columns but never really discussed, which is:
Is it okay to rewrite a collectible disk? I personally would say yes, but
the last time I was in Europe one of my German collector friends insisted
no, that would devalue it in his mind. He even went so far as to say he'd
prefer a non-functional but unrewritten disk to a rewrite that worked
perfectly. Anybody else have feelings on this? (For the record, I would
write in my description that the media was rewritten, just in case it
mattered that much to anyone else.)
