Just for Fun - T206 Hypothetical

[T206Collector]

...or ultrasounded.... or whatevered.... and if there is a card in there, I have it encapsulated and sold. Probably an old general, or a fish or something....

I would find a way to make sure there was a card inside. Once proven a card was inside, I would take the unopened pack, securely put it into a little larger box and then put those boxes in my safety deposit box at the bank.

Later, if I needed the money (or my Niece or Nephews have inherited my colleciton) the intact cigarette box could be sold (and hopefully will be even MORE valuable since SO MANY PEOPLE just can't stand not knowing what is in a 100+ year-old unopened box).

Open it, and probably get a flounder or striped bass.

Open it, i am one of those guys that cant have unopened packs around... ive tried, i think my record is about 2 weeks keeping packs

Even with the assurance it contained a t206, the odds of pulling a card that would be worth more than the speculation that would drive the price of an unopened pack, are slim. However, I don't want to risk going to a mental hospital by selling it for a few thousands and hearing the buyer opened it and found a Wagner (or Plank, Doyle Nat'l, Magie, Cobb, etc.).
