A lot of
MISB collectors are proud of their action figure collections, kept in pristine condition inside their original packaging. We've also heard of collectors who consider their action figures incomplete if they do not come with their original
shipper boxes. But none of them can hold a candle to
Michael, a collector who took the '
Sealed' in '
Mint in Sealed Box' very seriously, and collects his toys... in their original shipping containers.
"
I used to collect the action figures in their boxes, but too often, the packaging would arrive damaged, or the blister card would not be unpunched, and there was no way to make sure the packaging would be in perfect condition", said Michael, the world's only mint in container collector. "
Then, I started to collect them in their original brown shipper boxes, but even then, we cannot trust the postal services to deliver a box in perfect condition. I got tired of getting boxes with damaged corners, so I decided to go one step further, and acquire the shipping containers directly."
"
Sure, sometimes, there are scratches or marks on the outside of the container, but at least, I have the certitude that the action figures inside are "100% case-fresh" and have never been touched or exposed to another human being. The collection does take a lot of space now, but I am renting an entire area of the port in my city in order to display it. It's the only real way to have a MISB collection."
