selling unopened wrap vs unwrap

I am not a collector of unopened but I do have some unopened in my collection. Early-Mid 80s Topps and Donruss wax boxes mostly, as well as a couple racks from the same period with stars showing. With the recent run up in pricing, I was thinking of getting these wrapped by bbce and then selling on eBay to reinvest in cards that more fit into my current focus. So I finally log into bbce today to see I missed by only a few days then wrapping new material. So what to do? What’s the premium difference between wrapped and unwrapped, especially for a guy like me that generally has good eBay reviews, but not a long history of selling, and no previous selling of unopened? Am I better waiting it out and getting wrapped when things cool down?

    Wrapping boxes from that era is a no brainer and the cost is well worth the return. BBCE is currently wrapping only those boxes with a value that exceeds their buy price of $300 but you can also submit lower priced boxes under the "rush" level of service the cost for which is 15% (instead of the usual 8%) of the buy price.
