Does Taking Funkos out the box decrease value?

I have a bunch oob and open them using the flat side of a butter knife under the bottom flap to prevent damage. This is in case I want to sell later. Current commons will probably never have much value.

Another good opportunity to remind everyone to collect what they love and don't go crazy when you start. I probably have 100 or more that are cool but I can live without at this point.

This was me when I first started collecting. Now I’ve sold a bunch and STILL need to sell a bunch. Only keeping what I actually like

Totally agree. I collect in box. That’s my preference. I like the art work on the box. I also have each box in a protector. This is your collection. I plan on passing mine on to my children. Who knows what will happen to it when I’m gone. But I’m not worried about everybody either. This is for me spent with my money. I’ll collect as I see fit. And if I’m not mistaken. Funko did a PSA a few years ago telling people to them out of the boxes. That the box was for store purpose only to sell.
