To a collector, the entire set is worth more than are the individual pieces. Box, packing material, paper, &c. I SELL Leica boxes on e-Bay, and I've only ever had one which didn't sell. Many collectors also like to set up displays of period equipment -- a camera with its box and case, a couple of old rolls of film, and perhaps a can of old developer or the like. Thus, even a box of photographic paper has a value beyond its worth at the pulping plant.
