so i have been always talking to fellow collectors about if they open their collectibles or leave mint in packaging.

i have shit loads of action figures and i leave them mint in packaging but find it a pain in the ass to display them. the other day i saw pics of two rooms of people i know who open their collectibles and have a mean set up which blew me away. . . i am torn right now because i hate opening up my collectibles but seeing how nice they had their stuff set up is making me think twice. . .

we all know leaving them in packaging is a better pay off in the long run as far as value go, but i've seen loose figures go for a lot also which always make me wonder how much would have they gone if they were mint in the packaging.

what do you guys do in regards to your collection?
do you leave figures mint in boxes/blister cards or do you guys say to the hell with it and open them to display them?
