Or should I get the pack graded?
On multiple Pawn Stars episodes, the expert advises the guys to open the pack and have the cards graded, so I’m considering it.
Any opinions are appreciated.
(Side note: I’m not rich, so I’m looking for the best move financially. I agree keeping the pack sealed in some ways is “the right thing to do”) 
Thanks!

I vote to keep it sealed. That is a really cool item. And if you look at how PSA grades that card in particular, as well as other cards from the era, there is virtually no chance a card on the top of the pack gets a PSA 9. They are SUPER stingy with grades on the 1980 Henderson. I don't even have to look at the card to guess it gets a 6 or 7 (and frankly, I'm not convinced the grader will actually look at the card).
