Pony Corral / Re: Have you ever unboxed a MIB G1 pony.... :O

I feel bad for ponies who are stuck on grungy and/or torn cards forever. I also feel bad for the ones who are stuck in their plastic bubbles with their hair over their faces for eternity. I have freed before and felt good about it.
But it's a dangerous game! When you can't see the other side of the pony, who's to say it doesn't have cancer spots? Or even if it has factory flaws, the value would be less in some collectors' eyes. You risk losing a lot of value and not being happy with your pony anyway.
Then again, what if the world ends tomorrow and I wanted to open a G1 again and never did it. I would hate for the world to end with all of the ponies still on the cards. Someday if I have a big collection of MOCs and a huge asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, I'll run to my pony room and open them all.
