1996 Select Certified boxes. What to do?

[bigfanNY]

If I remember correctly no guarantees on a hit in these boxes. And even if a hit there are only so many $1000.00 cards most of the mirror cards are much less than a grand. So definitely a big risk to open unless money is no object. (a mere bag of shells) to coin the phrase. But lots of Gamblers so selling unopened sealed boxes should be stright forward. Good Luck.

Most likely the unopened boxes are worth more than the contents. 1996 Select Certified is one of the classic and hot 1990s issues, due to the mirror cards, so whether you want to sell know or keep, it's a safe bet.

Ironic that a company that went broke has hot products nearly two decades after its demise.

I'd perhaps see what it would take for BBCE to shrink wrap/certify the boxes and then I'd hold for a while. Seems to me that desirable modern boxes are going to go up in price over time, especially as people chase the good cards. There were only 3,240 boxes made (per baseballcardpedia) so it isn't like there are 500,000 boxes out there.

The boxes are already factory sealed. He stated above.
Just a note, BBCE will not wrap any box that was issued wrapped from the company. So they can wrap your older wax but not the new stuff.

I did not know that.

As far as the OP goes, if I got the boxes in the lot, I known I should hold them for resale but I know I would bust the packs and see if I hit a lottery pick.
