I want to open a box of 1980-81 opc hockey. Not sure why, prob because its the only 80s box i havent opened from all 4 sports.

I never get tired of opening 94 sp baseball. Its fun trying to find minty fresh arods and those 94 red holoview diecuts are always fun.

    Actually, it's be a toss up between 1975 Topps BB (my favorite), and 1985 Topps BB (which was the first pack I opened, and got me started collecting) - sort of a sentimental favorite.

    I agree with you - 1980 OPC would be fun.

    My favorite box is 80/81 Topps basketball. For pure excitement I would buy $2500 worth of 86/87 Fleer basketball packs.
    The 80/81 OPC hockey box sells for ~$3500, at least that is what BBCE sold their last one for.

    That is one tough question. If you can find an 1980 OPC set for that much it would be a great rip but speaking from experience centering etc would be a real tough challenge. Now the 1985 OPC would be a great pull and better centering and you can buy a couple of 1986 fleer packs with the remainder.

    I have an 80-81 Basketball box that I have been pretty tempted to rip open for quite some time. I doubt that I'm going to get the money I paid for it in good times, so I figure why not just rip it and see what is in there. Will I open it? probablynot, but it sure has tempted me a lot over the past yr and a half!.
    One time I bought 10 86/7 fleer packs from Steve H and opened one full of minty fresh , well centered commons. I didn't even know about POP reports or value of hard to find commons so i sold them as an opened pack for like $10?, and sold the other 9 sealed packs as well. There ended up being 1, maybe 2 Jordans in those 9 packs. The second big hit buyer was coy but whatever he hit was high buck.

    From watching and participating in a few live rips - I've come to the conclusion that opening anything "old" is too much of a crapshoot and the odds are good ya not gonna get value for the amount of money spent.

    So, I'm gonna have to be a dissenter and say - IMO - unopened as a collectible should stay that way or be sold (that way).
