Boxes, for the most part, are actually less common and more expensive than the games themself. I used to collect boxes but its such a pain. Cardboard is so fragile and gets rips and bumps and ends up looking like crap fast unless you put everything in a special protector. Boxes also take up more room (even more with the protectors). If I find a game anymore with a cardboard box and I end up buying it, I sell/donate the box to someone.
