I would leave it opened up on the shelf, that's how I'd appreciate it on a shelf. Just like any other film prop?

Sure, but its like an item that is not that unique, right? What would you appreciate about this replica of a prop that is not unique to begin with?

I mean, take the movie Matrix. If someone were to make a prop of the shades worn by Neo, would you buy it? I would hope not, because its not unique! Only way it would have uniqueness is if it were the very prop used on the set!

I guess what I am saying is I don't see the value of something being bought as a collectible when the item itself is commonly available for purchase. Only time such an item would seem like a worthy collectible is if it was actually the original used in the set (at which point it becomes unique by virtue of being that very item you saw in the movie).
