So I was scrolling online and having a few adult beverages back in mid-September when lo and behold, I was fed an ad for bizarre but cool T206 looking star wars cards. I was a collector when I was a kid, so tipsy Weiss ordered 5 boxes.
And then nothing happened for almost 2 months.
And then I got an email yesterday saying they'd shipped.
So. Open? Keep unopened? Sell unopened? Sell opened?

Speaking as someone who bought 'em as well (20)...I don't know, kind of a personal choice, no?
If you sell unopened now, you maybe double the 14.99 purchase price from what I see now on EBay. If you open, then who knows what you pull, it's worth, or even market desirability? Seems up in the air for a new first run product to me. Keeping them unopened, I assume the price likely to go up a tad bit (at least) overtime since limited print run and all. But, it's so new that who really knows. Cool idea though so I'm all in.
Good luck!
I bought 40 myself and opened all. Got 3 complete sets and about 10 cards away from 2 more complete sets. Got 1 homeworld parallel and 1 alternate image, which is about right odds. Got 35/50 blues for a complete set plus 15 spares to hopefully trade for a full set. Also an assortment of rarer parallels. I bought them for the set and with the going price on eBay, i'll be able to make up the purchase price and then some and still have a complete base set. Plus, it's always fun opening up packs. I have a trade list on the Buy, Sell, Trade forum if you decide to break them open. They really do look nice and have that vintage T206 looking artwork. Have fun whatever you choose.
