Re: [SWCollect] Need advice regarding a Wasteland purchase

How many original working floppies will be around in 50 years?  You can 
preserve the wrap, or you can preserve the data.  Which is more fun to 
play with?

(And if you're thinking 'duplicates', don't discount subtle variants, 
or the miniscule possibility your sealed box is missing something by 
accident...)

I support this view too. Shrinkwrapped items to me are interesting

because I know "it's all in the box", and if mint also that it's all

perfect condition. Other than that, I'm not too interested. I can be
found
removing the shrink when I'm curious enough and don't have an open 
copy
around. As long as my game is in excellent condition and complete, 
I'm
happy! I do keep many of them still in wrap due to the financial 
aspect
of
things, but I wouldn't be too surprised if this attitude would go 
away
much
like it did with comic books. If you can't see what's inside, look at
the
stuff that came with it, then what's the point? Other than being an
investment, I see no reason at all to keep it in shrinkwrap.
