To Unbox or To Leave in the Box?

So, as collectors do you leave everything in the box or display? Or combo or what? I'm interested to know.

I personally take most everything out unless it is something really old or it's in a large collection with other characters. I try to keep the box in tact and I store the boxes in the attic. I don't ever plan on selling my collection, it is strictly for me. Although I have thought about working with the Women's museum here to start a Wonder Woman section... I'm not ready to give it up yet! haha. Ok anyway I'm ranting. Tell me what you do.

I always buy two - so I can enjoy opening one and keep the other mint for posterity. Like you, I never plan to sell my collection either!

Yes, I store all of my duplicates and everything I do not keep out on display. Currently my collection in storage is taking up 1/4 of my full basement!

I have a huge Master bedroom in my townhouse I put one in my Wonder Woman desplay then put the one MIP on my wall. It looks really nice, you can see my collection pics here.

P.S. Make sure you look at the 2008 collection pics not the 2007 ones. They are titled in my pics section :D

that's a great idea! I'm gonna do that. I have a ton of things in boxes still. I'll hang them along the top of the room and such. Awesome collection. I'm still waiting on my display cases to come in so I can finish up my room. They are taking forever on them.
