I was running a card shop about 25 years ago. I had a WotC account and got product direct from them. I decided to stash a box back then, just in case. If I was going to the National this year, I would probably bring it along. Since I'm not, I will likely bring it to the next Philly Show. With all the Poke-maniacs (and breakers, YouTube micro-celebrities, etc.) running around, demand is pretty strong.
I thought about opening it back when boxes were only $1,000 or so. At this point, though, it seems insane to rip packs of Base Set.

I can Echo this post myself.
I stashed away a sealed box of 1st edition Team Rocket many years ago for my son...who is now in college.
Selling it now would put a nice dent in the Purdue Engineering tuition for the year.
I may tote it along to Rosemont but not sure who may be there buying unopened Pokemon
