Antique Medicine Bottles

Is it customary for a bottle collector to save the bottle caps or not even open the bottle at all?

I'm collecting the new dew bottles and some other bottles I come across that I think are cool. lol
Am I supposed to save the caps and put them back onto the bottle or not even open it in the first place?

    99.99999999% of bottle collectors do not open the bottle at all. when the time comes to sell the item, it will be complete and there for a rarer and more valuable item.
    also take care to store safely and in the dark to avoid fading or damage to the label and bottle.

    Yes , for example unopened beer. Also last night on tv I saw a woman who made a million $ business making jewelry from bottle caps!
