DQ / Topps 1992 Olympic Box

ICE9

I found a box of these in my desk at work. Definitely not on par with Lee's attic find! I purchased them 3-4 years ago and forgot about 'em. I was crazy about the 1984 olympic team at the time and this set had team USA cards of Will Clark, Barry Larkin and BJ Surhoff. I think my intentions were to open 'em and graded 'em. Never happened. The box has about 90 cello packs with 4 cards/pack. The complete set is 33 cards which ='s about 10 cards of each player.

Should I:

A. put them back in my desk drawer & wait for Giambi to have a 80 HR season (the set has the '88 and '92 teams too).

or

B. open & grade (are they worth it?)

As far as I'm concerned, anything you find that you forgot about is like found money. I have no idea if they're condition sensitive, but the PSA pop report only has 1 McGwrie and 2 Giambi's that got a gem grade. I think you could do well if you got a 10 posting it as a 1/2 or 1/3 from collectors of those guys, as well as Clark, Larkin, and even Surhoff. I would only grade if you had a shot at 10 though. Still, McGwire's sold on ebay for around $2 raw which isn't too bad for something from 1992. I like how they use the pics from the original RC of the players. Looks like a fun set. Is Nomar in the set? What about Palmeiro or Ventura? Did you have a connection with a manager at DQ? I remember I did something similar in 92 with the McDonald's Upper Deck basketball with Shaq RCs.
