Considering the way the economy is going (at least in the USA), should I keep some of my MIB (Mint in box) exclusives or should I sell them thinking it is not a precious metal or something that has value regardless of the state of economy?

Anyone thinking in the same thing?

If the economy gets real bad, they won't get you much because people will care more about food and clothes. If you sell them now, you'll feel really stupid if we somehow enter a golden age.

Not necessarily a golden age, but he's right. The target market that you're trying to sell your figures to, will be one of a decent disposable income, and when things start looking shaky to that particular target market, they hold onto their money, unless threes some kind of deal to sweeten the pot. Remember, these figures aren't worth anything until you sell them, outside of personal value. Theres no reason to sell them if you enjoy them, unless they're super rare. Best advice? If you're worried about money to the point you're considering selling, and the economy is the reason of that worry, just stop buying,
