i'm thinking to take it out and display it in a seperate case. in this case is it better to leave it in the box? new to collecting. I see people taking it out of the box all the time to take photo (that surely has to be the fun of the hobby) does the value diminishes greatly once its out of the box? is there a seal one must break to open it so future owner know that its been out of the box?
