To Rip or Not?

Just received a GAI 8 1980 wax box. Do I open it or save it? What would you guys do? I'm leaning to opening it.
Love '83 Topps. Looking to put together a PSA 10 set.

    I'd open it. An unopened wax box or pack is useless to me.

    Obviously this is a personal decision, but understand that you will almost certainly not re-coup your costs if you open it.

    He's probably right. I personally don't buy cases/boxes to hold onto though, so I vote...RIP IT! image

    Which begs the question of why someone would pay a premium for a graded wax box/pack when there is still quite a bit of ungraded material available. I, personally, would buy the box ungaded and rip it or get it graded if I decided not to rip it. I just don't understand. BTW, I would rip it and submit the N. Ryan's, R. Henderson's, P. Rose's, M. Schmidt's, O. Smith's, R. Jackson's, and J. Bench's. image

    1980 is a little before Bogg's time.
