Will sets left alone be worth more?

[RobtWB]

So ... Say a collector finds the rarest of the rare, a color prototype perhaps, or even a b/w prototype, or an original, pristine, museum quality CT 100 with the original hang tags and paperwork and bill of sale, or a pre-war set, tucked away in an attic for the past 50 years...What should he/she do??

The answer. Leave it alone. Do NOT remove it. DO NOT change it in any way. Leave it right where it is. Where it has been for the past 1/2 century. Leave it where no one can gaze upon it and marvel at it. But if one must take it, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT bring it operational. DO NOT replace any component that is no longer within tolerance, Heck, don't even disturb the dust on the set or within the set, after all it also is a part of the sets history.
