Re: Transformers boxes?
packages from 20 years ago are a rare find (even rarer if the product was a rarity to begin with), and people often buy them to display or complete a figure/set. because of their rarity and interest among collectors, the boxes and cards get a higher price.
back then people didnt have any incentive to keep things MISB or even keep the packaging at all. which is why the stuff is so rare.
these days the collecting culture is more aware of keeping things intact for future sale, or to keep things more valuable in general.
if you have the space and the desire, by all means keep all of the packaging from the transformers you purchase from now on. but keep in mind that in the future they wont necessarily be as valuable as the ones from 10 to 20 years ago.
for the most part, down the line if you decide to sell a figure, you'll be able to get a bit more money for it if you have all of the packaging that came with it. just as it would be even more valuable if the figure was MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) or MOSC (Mint On Sealed Card).
for me its just too much of a hastle, and i dont have the space.
