He added that the absence of the box was not an obstacle to acquiring the model, especially since it significantly reduced the price of the coveted miniature. The market has evolved over the past forty years. The pioneers of collecting, who primarily sought a miniature reproduction of a car, have gradually given way to toy collectors. And the box is an integral part of the toy. It contributes to its history and explains many things. This week we have many empty boxes. They are now largely as sought after as the models they contain. I don't yet know any collectors of empty boxes; they remain complementary to the models' accessories, but they could constitute a collection on their own. You can sometimes acquire the box before finding the model. If it's rare, why not? Completing your model with the box is good, but you still have to make sure you put the right model inside."}
