BBCE Wrapped Cello and Rack Boxes

Am I the only person that hates buying these? Settle down, let me finish. I like to look at the packs and see stars, Team Cards, Checklists, etc showing. I know, I know. I can unwrap them and enjoy my collection how I want but if I drop a few hundred or more on a cello box I don't want to have the hassle of re-wrapping it later if I choose to sell or trade it. Obviously the wrap authenticates it and makes it easier to sell or trade if needed. Plus the added value of the wrapped box as well. Curiosity is just getting the best of me.

I thinks that's the struggle for anyone who collects unopened. Granted, I don't have many cello/rack boxes and mainly collect wax boxes, but curiosity is rampant. The other night it was an itch I HAD to scratch...so I opened a rack box I've have sitting there for a while. haha.

Sometimes when I purchase a wrapped box from BBCE I purposefully order another box of something cheaper (my "go-to" for that is like 1987 donruss and stuff in that price range) so that I can get the satisfaction of ripping some product open but also keeping the other wrapped/sealed.

great point, i agree...that why i just decided to sell pretty much all my cello boxes and keep the wax.

the value of the cello boxes is whats inside..love looking at the packs, front and back...also, the outside of the cello boxes themselves are pretty much plain vanilla. some years the exact bland cardboard like the next. no uniqueness.

i can at least display the wax boxes..each year being different.

when u say rewrapping, that brings up a whole different topic of now buying an "authenticated" box doesn't mean the insides weren't picked thru.

I know what you mean. I appreciate knowing that everything is original and authenticated, but just something fun about opening up that flap on a box and seeing all of those sealed packs.
