Because the SKS is such a common rifle these days, unless its fully matching and in great to excellent condition I don't think it would worth holding from a "collecting" standpoint.
That said, the 49 Ruskies with a spike bayo are pretty rare, but again not numbers matching trigger group will greatly detract from its collectible value...
I would shoot it, and find a new safe queen.

Sks's are so common that the value will increase very slightly IF you find someone interested in collection.
Supply and demand.

I must agree with the idea that the sks should be used...
They are still good cheap fun for all that like to shoot, for the simple pleasure of plinking.
Youll never make a silk purse from a sows ear as they say... so even a mint 49 with matching numbers is worth what??... $210.00 or a bit more if someone wants it... ok no biggie.
If you find a tack driver in any year model with matching numbers or not, hang onto it for some higher personal value.
Generally they are marginally accurate across the board at 100 yards with surp ammo, which to most is not a valuable weapon, just fun to shoot.
Most are worse than others for accuracy, when compared to the average hunting rifle found in North America.
Just my opinion.

if one is hoping to make a SKS into a tack driver (and gets caught in matching-serial-number psychosis) then i am afraid that shooter has their priorities in a bind, 
the SKS is a full-on shoulder-jerking plinker - and i love it that way.
