First Strike-able ASE 10 set sealed box - DIY or sell it raw

What's the latest upside on this? Mine shipped from the mint (or subcontact distributor) in the first wave.

What? No one? One too many ASE posts?

Sorry - 10 sets of the 3 piece ASE. 30 pieces of silver. Hence Judas.

Ahh..

I don't see a big downside to grading them, and the spector of 70's makes the upside nice...

It's your play on words...not everyone knows, nor cares for, the "judas box" wording, so likely are just thinking "whatever" and moving on.

For those that don't know, it is referring to the 10 sets of ASE 20th Annv boxes (30 pieces of silver).
Keith, I would see what the market is for 69 and 70 grades, plan on a few 68 most likely, and see if the added cost of slabbing is worth it to you.
If not, see what the value of a "1st strike" eligible box is selling for to those that do want to take the risk.

I know that a 5set box, unopened, went for $1400 itself last weekend , so it is reasonable that you might get $3000+ for your box of 10.

I understand the 30 pieces of silver thing, and I understand that if you accept one of these boxes your bowels will be spilled in the field, but I just don't like the term that much.

"Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out."

Acts 1:18

Yeah, but I didn't kill the Lord to acquire the box.

No disrespect meant - just a creative turn of phrase that stuck with me.

Let he with no sin cast the first stone.

I've sinned plenty, but I still love casting that first strike..errr...stone
