Are tatty boxes worth keeping?

A couple of months back I bought a second-hand Commodore 1570 disk drive. It came in the original box, which is, alas, in very poor condition. The polystyrene is cracked and has chunks missing. The cardboard sleeve is torn/ragged. Is there any point in keeping it? I don't normally care about the packing boxes for computers, but I know some people do. Also, I believe the 1570 is not the most common CBM drive, so presumably the boxes for them aren't that common either. -tony
