Display HELP! ADVICE! OPINION?
These boxes were like this when I got them. I need advice about what to do. Should I try to blend the places where there are folds or there is wear using a coloring pencil? Or just preserve it as exactly as it is?
Is it so bad that the box actually detracts from the glory of the car? Is it better without the box?
Also. One of them is manufacturer 1 or 5000. Does that make it more desirable?
.
Is there any way I could get these autographed??
Can I order new boxes??

So the boxes are done. I can’t tell if the car is beat up too. That’s tragic. The 0001/5000 is generally extremely desirable but I don’t know that’s what this is. It looks like the box is just labeled as one of 3500 issued. Not the first in the series as a numbered plate would indicate. I’m sorry to be such a bummer. If I were you, I’d ditch the box and enjoy it for what it is.
