No blame. If as many Megos were saved as we'd want they would have nearly if any of thw worth. For comparsion just look at the value of the most the values of the the common Star Trek pieces Mint in package vs. everything else. Same for a carded Hulk. Due to the sheer number that exist they aren't nearly as valueabale. Also part of the thrill of collecting is the hunt and being able to get the piece you want.
It wouldn't be nearly as fun is you could get any piece you wanted at any time. On top of all this, in my late teens, ealry twenties I was sell happy. Anything I would have had packaged and worth any decent amount of money would be gone already. If I had say carded Iron Man in 1992, I would have sold it for $250 listed in the "updated" Tomart guide back then. Of course years later when more information started coming out (at least for me anyway) prices on scarce carded figures skyrocketed I'd have said "why did I sell that carded Iron Man in 1992?!"
