Honestly though, I don't think I'd worry about this too much. I'd be more concerned with those unfamiliar with the hobby poking and touching things they should not..................................
That could be an issue, possibly.
I recall at a very small local (well, Delaware, so 1 hour "local" drive for me) meet in the late 90's there was a seller with some older (probably PW, but could have been pre) items with boxes.
He had some sort of item in a box where the item could be shown by leaving the top flap opened while the item still was in the box.
I saw the interaction when some person casually grabbed the end flap of the box and pulled it toward them to get a better look at the item (thereby putting the stress of pulling the item's weight on the end flap seam). The person had no clue that the box on such an item added to the value, just that it was an old beat up box.
I don't think it actually got torn off, but he very politely informed her how that was not an appropriate way to grab something on the table.
