Why do some of you slaps buy unopened material and not open it? Is it to brag about "your collection"? I mean what is the point of buying something with no intentions of opening it...isn't that the point?

<< <i>Right? I mean let's go people, quit sitting on them! You can't take the darn things with you, enjoy them now! We need to start a thread, "I wasn't going to bust these but Wrigley convinced me otherwise". I know some of you are sitting on low pop 10s or rookie cards that are vintage and high quality. Thank me later!!! >>
You convinced me. I'm going to bust this beauty as soon as I find my blue gloves.
Collecting:

Fair questions I could say I collect my unopened packs with the small chance that I will have an enormous pack rip sometime in my later adult life, so I purchase them when they are relatively still affordable. I like to display them like most collectors like to display their graded or raw card collections, because I enjoy how they look and how they can still be wrapped like a present after so many years of sitting on a shelf, or in a box, or in someones closet. I love the nostalgia they bring as well as the low supply/increased demand they bring.
The rare unopened pack or box is like a time capsule into the past, and sadly they are disappearing more and more every time some collectors opens them. But I can see the appeal with that as well, as I have made that mistake in the past.

Why do you coin guys collect coins with no intentions of spending them?
LOL

<< <i>I opened the whole box from the group rip you slap and sold that to recover some on my money. You just proved my point! I don't keep unopened packs. >>
El oh el.
Why does everyone on this board ignore my statements that people buy too much crap they can't actually afford? Buy stuff and then sell it off to recover some of your money....lmao.

This is what I was thinking. The hobby looks pretty goofy from the outside looking in, hard to get down on others for how or what they collect!
<< <i>We like to watch the value of unopened product continue to rise. Why does anyone bother collecting pieces of cardboard with men's pictures on them at all? >>
Not sure you really wanna go there.
There's better less risky investment strategies out there, at least speaking in terms of long term. I'd guess at this point that any late 70's or later non junk unopened, after factoring in selling costs, MIGHT appreciate at the rate of inflation.

Well, wax boxes from the mid to late 70s have nearly doubled in value over last decade, and continue to rise as product becomes scarcer, so your projection appears a bit off.

With all due respect, if you're gonna start a thread to ask if it's normal for the cards on top of a cello pack to have a machine mark or gum dust in the pack, you're not really qualified to speculate on the long term value of unopened product.

Yeah my bad. 100% appreciation per decade is normal.

Who said anything about 100% appreciation being normal, or that prices would double again in the next decade? Reread my initial post for further clarification.

That is in fact the example you used to "disprove" my estimation of future price appreciation.

It is a statement of fact that prices for unopened wax boxes have nearly doubled in value over the PAST decade. The phrase "continue(s) to rise in value" does not mean (at least in my understanding of the language) that said prices will double AGAIN in the next decade (though it is certainly possible they will). Rather, this conclusion is what you inferred.

I hate to tell you this but 100% appreciation in a decade isn't all that uncommon. In fact it only equates to an average annual return of 7.18% per year which really isn't that much. The S&P 500 has returned on average about 10-12% per year over the last 70 years or so.
As to why I keep unopened it's fairly simple. I know there are more people in the world like the OP who like to open everything they get. When the supply runs out they can start buying mine at higher prices in about 25 years.
