Whatever you do it will have limited value - it has probably been given to hundreds if not thousands of people.
However historically or aesthetically, it is probably best to keep it in "as issued" condition.
If you wanted to dispose of it overseas the recipient would almost certainly want it that way ( probably little if any market in the US at present due to my comments in para.1 )

If the "Pack" is unsealed it is possible to replace that "as issued" stamp with a later one. Or even a completely different stamp either accidentally, intentionally or out of philatelic ignorance.
If sealed, the problem o0f archival quality material looms its head.

I got a couple of the packs from the post office as a gift recently. They have stamps, FDC, and others. Do people divide these up or keep them whole? I know " do whatever suits you" is coming, but interested in the pros and cons.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
