It is very important to me... so much so that I reject most older collectible candidates if there is no box et al. For a shooter, it is likely not a big deal to most folks. But as someone much wiser than me once noted: If it's as-new in the box with everything, it's a collectible. If it's the gun alone, the best you can say is that it's a really, really nice shooter.
For the most part (there are always exceptions), I kind of agree with that statement.
