I would open bout 33 pct of em. sell a third of em as unopened, and put the others away in a safe dep box till i sell more, as the temptation to open would be too great if they were nearby

I'd sell every last pack. I probably pack out one box myself so I could keep a nice empty box. High percentage of the cards would be wrecked by the gum by now.

"Virtually every graded PSA 9 or 10 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle came from this specific case!"

Just a little over exaggerated don't you think???

it would be a shame to keep them in the packs and sell them to someone who is only interested in keeping them in the packs forever. they are suppose to be enjoyed, looked at. if they are in the pack, then whats the point.

bust them out and keep them raw and show them around the shows. enjoy them.

I would open every last pack, flip through the cards, and eat the gum. I could only imagine that the gum would make me sick, but after I recovered I'd send the cards off for grading, maybe keep a Mantle if there were one, and sell the rest.

Does anyone have any guesses as to what the actual empty box is worth? I see there have been many offers. I've never seen another one. $5,000??
