I don't know if a thread exists for this topic as of yet.

So I'm sure you all can relate to this as collectors/enthusiasts. You buy a new action figure or a vehicle...it came in such a cool box or on a cool card with great art work on it. You can't keep in Mint in box...ya gotta open it...you enjoy the toy, it looks great on your shelf displayed...but now what do you do with the box/card????
When I was a child I threw the majority of those cards and boxes away...then as I grew older I started to keep the boxes and cards...but why??? UPC's they sometimes are used as incentives to mail in for a special figure, but how long are they good for? Would Hasbro or Mattel take UPC's from toys purchased a few years back from the same line? does it make sense to keep this extra clutter??? I see sometimes people sell just the boxes or card backs on ebay, do people actually buy these?!?

I do enjoy reading the bio's on the back and looking at the art work, but with the internet pretty much all of that is available to look at online....and how often do I look through piles of card backs anyway?

So I ask you...is it Trash or Treasure???
