I used to have this concern, then my collection reached over 500 (now creeping up on 1300) figures and the reality of space requirements set in, and I scrapped 90% of the packaging I've saved. Keeping only G1, G2, some BW, Japanese, and exclusives/box sets.
Most modern figures won't be worth shit in the future because everybody is a "collector" now, and there is just so much of it floating around. Could it be worth more with the card, should you choose to sell at a later date? Sure. But because, as I said, there is so much if it out there, it might literally be only a difference of 5 - 10 bucks more than a loose figure without the card.
Save your space and recycle it.

I agree about the future prospects of selling a bunch of carded figs for 1985 carded Snake-Eyes prices. Back then very few people were "collecting" and to be honest, most of the carded figs still intact from back then came from ungiven gifts found in gramma's attic or duplicates that were received and never opened.
I don't have anywhere near 1300(!) figs but I tossed all the plastic from my Commemorative figs about a year after I got them. I only keep the Titan and giftset boxes along with my MP stuff these days. If I run out of space the cardboard inserts will get tossed and the boxes will get broken down for storage.
I expect the only figs that might be worth a bit in the future are the harder to find or most expensive ones, as it's always been. MISB or not.
