I haven’t checked mint in bag vs mint out of bag, but I wouldn’t expect the value to depreciate as much as a mint ON CARD/BOX due to the uniqueness of the packaging.Definitely! My collection will definitely never be sold as i don't see a reason to. i will appreciate them throughout my entire life and the value of my collection is something i've never really considered because it's the joy it brings to me that matters most, not how much money i can make from it!
I also find the experience of finally getting the super rare pony you've been looking for since forever extremely rewarding... so i don't see why i should leave her in box, she's never experienced love since leaving the factory so i'm definitely going to give it to her now! Plus i've worked so hard to locate her so i may as well reward myself by getting the satisfaction of opening her so my inner child can gush over her pretty mane, glitter and colors!
I'm so terrible i've had my eye on a few Baby Dancing Butterflies still in the plastic mailing bag and in mint condition (which i believe to be rare and expensive i'm not 100% sure but from what i've seen she seems like a pricey one) and even if i did manage to get her i honestly think i'd take her out of the bag purely so i can appreciate the enjoyment of getting a brand new squeaky clean pony in all of her glory (even if it makes some people cringe so bad) LOL.
A pint in high demand, like TAF babies will retain better value overall, no matter what.
