Default Gauging Interest in a Possible 1981 Rack Pack Rip

I need to pay even more gargantuan medical bills (no comments, this isn't a 'woe is me' thing) and had an idea. I have had these two unopened 1981 Topps rack packs forever (three pics, but only two different packs)...

...and was thinking of doing a live pack break on one of them to raise a little money. (Of course, I would have to clear it with Leon to make sure it's allowed here.) Unfortunately, 1981 Topps isn't exactly a valuable set. Off the top of my head, I believe the keys are the Raines, Baines, and Valenzuela rookies, plus the assortment of stars like Reggie, Nolan Ryan, 2nd year Ricky and the like.

The packs say 48 cards, so there would be 48 spots available (unless there's a reason to believe it holds more/less cards than the number stated). There are no stars pictured front or back. The 'glass half full' side of me says that means the insides are star-filled.

I have no specifics at this point, but if you have any insight, please LMK if this is even worth it.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
