1982 Topps Football Rack Case----opinions on what to do.

Good evening,

I recently purchased a 1982 Topps FB Rack Case from a board member (Thanks Alex).

Originally, I planned to rip it....but I started thinking, I do not see these very often at all. Matter of fact I have seen far more 1981 rack cases.

Would you:
A: Leave it sealed
Or
B: Send it to Steve Hart, and have him open, wrap, and Mark the boxes from a sealed case?
The case is sealed, but the top flaps are barely hanging on. I do not think I want to rip this as I just don't see them very often.

Thanks for any input

    Definitely going to the National, hopefully BBCE has some nice material they are holding back for it.

    See my 79 opc rip. I had the same dilemma. Way more fun ripping!
    It never leaves you...

    No brainer on this one - keep it sealed and forget about it. Bide your time and wait for demand to peak. Just not enough interest in that set right now.

    I wonder if Steve will wrap the whole case.....best of both worlds?

    Just curious.. Why would you want Steve to open case and wrap boxes when you already have a sealed case? I'm guessing that would deflate value no?
    I'd keep it sealed as is. You'll get better return on a sealed case as opposed to the some of the parts.

    The ONLY reason is that the top flaps on the case are barely holding on. If it was firmly sealed, I wouldn't even bother. I am worried that I will move it, catch a flap when stacking and the flap will pop loose. Even though I know it's a sealed case, once the flap pops open, it is no longer "a sealed case".

    If Steve opens, and wraps the individual boxes (or the whole case)..the "from a sealed case" premium still applies (if that makes sense).
