Show me where having the foam from inside the boxes adds value to the piece!!! Having the box is all that MAY add value to the piece. And if you plan on keeping your collection why even worry about the boxes. Is that so your dependents can sell the collection when you pass away?

Now mind you, I'm not making fun of you if you save the foam inserts but why would you? The inserts won't add a penny to the resale value and if it does, where does it say so in any book. I save the folded up boxes and certificates and trash the foam. Should I ever decide to sell the collection, foam peanuts work fine to place in the FOLDED UP BOXES. Those of you that save the foam are causing yourself grief and storage problems. I bet you I could get within a couple of dollars one way or the other if we were selling the same piece with or without foam inserts.

Again, I challenge anybody out there to prove that the foam inserts are worth saving. Are there any takers?
