UPDATE EMAIL ADDRESS
Do we have some serious collectors in our group with experience about "packing boxes" for collectibles?
I am wondering if the black shipping boxes that the each Thunderbitd Collection item was mailed in should be saved.
I collect Dept. 56 Dicken Villages pieces and in that case the packing box, the styrofoam packing abd the Wrapper are all important to the value as a collectible. For a retired piece, there can be a major price difference between one with and one without the packing material.
I know our Thunderbird Collection pieces will have value in the future - especially for someone who buys a Thunderbird in the future and would not have the pieces we got as original buyers. But, I am not sure whether the black shipping boxes will make a difference.
What are the thoughts out there???
