Take it out of the box?

[RCMerchant]

When I buy something cool. I always take it out of the box. I don't keep my comics in bags. I have them on a stack on my bookshelf gathering dust. What I'm trying to say is that I don't have my old s**t because of $ worth. I have it because I like it.
Do you keep stuff in the box, or comics in plastic bags?
I can understand if it's ACTION COMICS #1...but I have, of all things, an issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS with DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN on the cover. It's in bad shape too. That's in plastic.It's just special to me for personal reasons, which I can't explain, because if I could you know I would be typing some stupid bulls**t about why I love that movie. I have lots of rare monster mags and comic books- and that ones in plastic. The rest are stacked on bookshelves. Not in plastic at all. My room smells like old books.

It depends.  I bought a cool Japanese Takara YOU doll at a toy show, it's still in its box, but only one bit of tape sealed it so I opened it.  I later found other examples of these dolls and sold them at profit.  I still have that one; they were only issued in Japan.  Meanwhile, I have some kind of Robin figure, unopened, in the shipping carton; probably also Asian market.  I've never even seen the box!  I was a toy collector, so if I was lucky enough to have a box, they were appreciated!  I had a lot of cool CRAP!  Most of it's gone now.

You were a seller. I don't sell anything. I might give it away- but I don't sell it.
I dunno.

I still sell; now, it's the only way I generate cash.

All of my comics are in bags and have backing boards to keep them flat. Most of them came that way from eBay, online stores or comic book stores. I bought bags and boards for the ones that didn't come with them.

I don't have too much stuff on my place, and what I do have, I use it. While I understand taking care of valuable things, something that I of course do, I never saw the point in keeping stuff in bags just to look at them from afar. 

Just like us, those things will be dust one day too, so we may as well enjoy them while they last.
