Yes and no. If something is rare, it's going to sell regardless. Arkham Asylum Bane brings $100+ loose. I've seen more than one sell for that. I never started collecting to get rich some day. That's a pipe dream. Stuff from back in the day was made to play with, not with the intention of being collected. That's what makes the older shit more valuable, because the majority opened their figures and played with them heavily. OG Moss Man has seen many a bath times in his day lol. So carded items from back than are scarce.

But that doesn't mean everyone out there should just open all their figures because "fuck it, too many people collect MOSC". For every person that opens the same figures I own. That just makes mine a lil more rare to be carded each time. Over 30-40 years, there will be less and less MOSC MISB figures from today.

Get rich quick, no. Fall on hard times someday & it's nice to know I can get say $50 for a figure opposed to $20 cuz I had to open it.
