I say toss that junk, recycle it, whatever. Makes more room for the figures! But I can totally see keeping packaging for high end toys, exclusives, etc.

I completely agree with you. The toys now a days are MASS produced more so than toys 20-30 years ago...I can't see any of the cards or boxes being worth much in 20-30 yrs....and after all that time you'll have to move it with you pay to put it in storage then go to sell only to find out its junk LOL
Maybe theres a slight chance that in 100 years when plastic action figures are antiques and kids are playing with robots and holograms the plastic figures we are currently collecting will be rare after some survive the alien invasion and half the planet is vaporized LOL and the cardbacks and boxes are even rarer who knows
