Default opinions needed on 1981 Topps football unopened box.....

I have a 1981 unopened Football box that i have had since the early 80's, my dilemma is what to do with it? Sell it as is, or open the packs and pull rookies looking for that Mint card? (just eat the gum) ") I would love to hear what you guys think i should do?

thanks

I would go with whatever would net me the most money unless I really got into ripping packs (which I don't)..... Good luck with it!!

Hopefully someone understands this better than me and can jump in and help, but I believe BBCE certifies unopened material - going that route in theory would increase the value if sold at auction. 81 is Montana rookie, right? That one does real well in PSA 10, but like most cards from that era the prices fall off a cliff at the 8 and under level.

I would suggest calling Baseball Card Exchange and seeing how much Steve Hart would charge you to authenticate and wrap the box. A BBCE wrapped box does carry a nice premium and they have have a great reputation among the unopened community.

Good luck with what ever course you decide to choose!

Steve charges 5% of what he's selling it for as the fee to authenticate. If he doesn't have one for sale shoot him a note. Super nice guy.

A gem mint Montana (PSA 10) sells for $10,000+ not $1000.
