I know where my Quickbeam has marks, and how I put them there. Same for the Bontrager. The painful ones are the ones that happened in the garage because I was careless, not the chips and dings of use. I care, but the idea of bagging my bikes in UV plastic so they're collector's items... makes me itch. I already PAID my money, now let me enjoy it! In 40 years, I can sandblast both bikes and paint them black. I relate it to comic books, since I think they're a fantastic art form (with about the same gold to dross ratio as movies, thank you very much). I've saved comic books I love, but I've never "collected." I would rather have the experience of reading or riding for 40 years than the money I could sell the unread or unridden for later.
