Have 2 1987 Tiffany sets with stickers in-tact. Got them years ago with several other 1988-1990 sets. Selling the 1987 sets is tuff cuz they were not shrink wrapped and probably a tuff sell to someone as not searched. I am SURE they were never opened, as I bought a huge collection from an older gentleman years ago and these were in it I opened one of the 1987 sets (I had 3 total) and got a Bonds PSA 10 and a handful of 9's so I am sure it was not searched. Do I open the other 2 to look for gradeable cards or leave them as is? Here is a recent scan.

Beautiful cards!
You could ask a fair price on the sets and if people are afraid to buy, then open and hope for more 9's and 10's.
Obviously several great rookies in the set, a 10 on one or two would prolly be worth more than you could expect to get for a set.
Especially if you got a Bonds!!!!
No McGwire?
mcgwire was an 8 i believe
Sorry..was a 6..must have missed something.

WTF happened to that McGwire to grade a PSA 6? I know you had mentioned you didn't think they had been opened but at the time wasn't the McGwire the hot card. Just a hunch but that leads me to think maybe it was swapped.

Super nice!!!!!!!!
Likely he missed something not obvious straight from the factory. If there were anything obviously wrong I'm sure he wouldn't have submitted.
Open and sub, it’s worth the risk where your price point is.

Send them to BBCE and have them wrapped. Then sell me one.
I've got all my sets still sealed and stacked on the shelves with all my unopened product so I get to take a look at it all everyday and go back in time a little. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

Will they seal them if they didn't come from an unopened case?
I don't think I would make a good collector of unopened stuff. I can't resist opening it. Those shiny boxes call out to me.
No, he was joshing with you, he was dreaming.
