I have one 1989 set and two 1987 sealed sets. Do I break them open and hope for PSA 10's, or do I keep them complete?

Is there any chance of these sets being bricked like the higher gloss sets in the 90's?

This week I ripped three Tiffany sets, 1990 Topps, 1984 Topps Traded, and 1988 Score Glossy Traded. I wish they were all still sealed lol.

Leave them sealed.
It's worth - as an academic exercise - to check the "pop" report on the "key" cards in sets.
Some cards - as submitted - may only have a 1 in 5 chance (based on sub numbers) at a 10 e.g.
But, if one is feeling rather "sporty?" Then the gamble is worth it I guess?
The actual odds of pulling a 10 are likely much lower. Not every card is even worth submitting to take a shot.
True Kyle.
That's why I put in the "based on sub numbers" only - I was guessing most would realize that's only the beginning of the story.
I've always held to the idea that something "closed" is like Schrödinger's cat and IMO best kept that way.
Investment or collection. You know you want to just do it.
Best place to buy !

LOL It would be for resale. ...probably best to keep them sealed instead of gamble on the singles!
Now you’re talking. Here was my thought process on why I said to keep them sealed: it is true that from 1987-1990, Topps produced much more of the Tiffany sets than from 1984-1986,1991, but I believe that most of these have already been ripped from people looking for high grade stars and HOF’ers as they sell for a premium. I believe as time goes on, sealed sets (no matter the year), will gain in value as unopened collectors like myself who hoard these look to add them to their collections.
