I would have to open most of them. Curiosity is my middle name.

I would give two packs to my wife with the instructions that these are for our two grandsons. No matter what, do not give them back to me.

A couple weeks later, I would fake a heart attack and ask her to bring me the two unopened packs. If she brings them she fails the test. If she does not bring them she passes.

Assuming that I am still living after the above test, I would then open most of the packs, savor the smell, arrange the cards in order and enjoy. I would then save the best for my grandsons and start to gradually sell the rest and put the money into their college fund.

When my first grandson turned 8 I would give him a pack, let him rip it open and play with the cards. Nothing like a mint Mickey Mantle to put in your bicycle spokes. I would have a pack for each of the boys to open on their birthday.

Someday my grandsons will tell their friends how their crazy grandpa let them use a mint (insert card here) in their bicycle spokes to make noise.
