c. the line of toys itself and their stories

I don't mean to offend, but that's what it's always seemed like to me. :P
With that being said, I have a few things on card simply because of value and what I paid for it. My stuff is moc only if it's a double or I paid a much higher amount of money than retail (and that's still only true in a few cases.) For example, I want to know if I'm hurting for money someday that having spent 70 bucks on a sealed ML deadpool can still net me at least 70 when I need it. Had I bought it for 9.99, he'd be fighting doop all day long. ;P

Im a MOC Collector, and I dont do it for the hope of them being worth something down the road. I have alot of collections of toys/series that are worth nothing, that are vintage, and I know they were worth nothing to get. I got them cause I love the toy. I also love to display them MOC because all that work was done to create all that artwork on the box that it deserves to be displayed as well. I do admit it would take up alot less room if I were to remove them from package, but I prefer it this way. Also, say like in 20 years from now, showing your kids/grandchildren/etc the stuff that you grew up with, in package would show more of a history on the toy.

Anyways thats my thought.

I just dont like to be labeled a MOC Collector be I only like hoarding and money, thats just rude.
