Which would it be? The ROR Frank or Night Skyline Frank? Since the incredible find I have been in debate. I generally only keep one of everything for my PC but thought about keeping both. What would you do America?!?! Keep both and if not both which one?
Thanks for the infinite wisdom of the members here on T5AD!
PS. to that point I struggle with other things like this. Should I keep the lenty Sally or the DB16 Sally or both? Should I keep the DB12 Lizzie or the Supercharged Lizzie or both?? Should I keep on typingor stop and enjoy a rum and coke…. or both.

I have duplicates of some of my favorites, open and carded:
Elvis, Frank, Bessie, Coriander, Dragon LM, the security twins and others…also have several of all teh camera and press cars…no harm in keeping both…though…the nightline skyline card is more atttractive, in my opinion
Chuck Cables is my favorite…he has such a HUGE accesory 🙂

That's a very good question, snosno, one that I have struggled with myself. For now, I have one of each Frank but I know eventually I'll be getting rid of one of them. So, in other words, I'm no help at all. Well, I'd definitely pick the DBs over the lent and Supercharged Sally and Lizzies. So there's that.

IMO I would keep neither. We have always been collect one of everything open. The Cars look so much better out of their plastic prison.
Anyway we have never cared which packaging the vehicle comes in. I am sure many multiples of every Car in different packaging I have passed on. So unless I didn't have an opened one I would sell or trade them. Franks are worth quite a bit nowadays. why not reap the benefits of your Cars hunts?
There are many other collectors in dire need of a Frank, if you feel funny about a high buy it now, just list at least 1 for .99 and to the victor goes a Frank and you get some spoils.
Just my opinion since you asked. I say turn those Franks into something you want or some cold hard cash.

I have a similar situation…
I have 1 open & 1 on the card of Bessie & Frank. I do display the Bessie but I don't display the Frank since I have the Disney Store Frank. I have been trying to decide whether I should sell the carded ones and just keep the loose ones. I would like the extra money for the Christmas Season expenses but….
(another Seinfeld epesode: should we go to Mendy's 2x or go to Mendy's 1x and another place for the second dinner. What would Bania do?)

Seems like most are torn like me. Except for Jack. He knows where he's headed. I think most of the problem is Im not dying to get any particular Car anymore so where I would typically trade them to get something I needed there is nothing I 'need'. So its like what do you so with them?? Lol.

If you are anything like me, somewhere along the way you'll realize that there is another car or set that you just have to have. Those Franks will always be valuable trade fodder.

I would keep one and trade one, if you can make a good trade.Or sell one and use the money to feed your addiction. I would get rid of the PCN one simply because it is newer and perhaps more common (assuming they are both in the same condition)?
In any event, have another cocktail.
I have what I think are some pretty cool Cars (not as desirable as Frank) up for trade, but haven't been able to trade any of them for a loooooong time.I guess I am at the point where everyone who has what I want has what I have too.
At some point I will list them for sale here or on Fleabay I guess.

Keep both and when you feel like the time is right, trade one away for something awesome. I would keep the ROR one, trade Night Skyline. ROR was the original release and a big deal.

Keep one and get rid of the other unless you already have one than sell both.
Is there a special person you know that might love a Frank? It would make an awesome random act of kindness to a special collector or child.
I had 2 very special cars saved minty in package. A few years ago someone desperately needed Lizzie and I sold her cheap because I only paid retail on her. I collect the cars in my son's memory and if a car will make someone else happy I will sell it.
I have also sold special hard to find cars to people overseas and than waited to find it again for our collection. Haven't done this in a long while but to me finding a loved car and sharing it is just as much fun than keeping toys locked away in boxes never to be seen or enjoyed.

Just pick ONE!!! If you start with one, then you will give into keeping another and then another… Then you will start regretting that you let go of all the others and your quest will grow into an uncontrollable mess!!!!!
At least this is our situation… Granted, a blast we have had – But there is very little room left what with an entire set of Desert, SC and WOC backs all minty mint on card, and all doubled up in international-back formation… Some even have three depending on the fact that there is US, American international and european/asian international backs…
Don't think you realize that that adds up to a lot of singles, gift-packs, launchers…
But if you have the room, the time, and the patience, then I stand firm that there is nothing better in this world to collect… Am I right!??!?!?!
