Should I open my Johnsons?

I bought a couple Johnsons last week, and then had a minor family crisis pop up, so wasn't able to dump them quickly. I see they're going for $70 per on the BST and a bit higher on eBay.
So hypothetically, what is the best thing to do if I open them? Eyeball them and if they look perfect, send them off to PCGS to see if they happen to make a 70, and send them back to the mint if they aren't likely to hit it?
I don't typically do the modern thing...

Well, it's closer to 30 minutes because I have to go to the post office, and ship them and such. And I'm not seeing buyers at $140, just sellers. But you're right I could do that.
It's also been a rough week, so the puerile Johnson humor was too much to resist

Do you find it is always best to wax yours Captain?
I was asking my wife to hold my Johnson for me and she said no way as that is how we got 4 kids!
You should encapsulate your Johnson.

It would be cheaper to go the hardware store, buy some boxes, seal them up and not open them.
Why buy a coin or coin set if you never want to look at it?

THIS! I can see doing it if you're a flipper or sending them off for FS/ER/whatever labels, but what's the point of buying it and never seeing it? How would you even know you got the correct item?

I know, my fault. Was in hospital dealing with sick child all weekend, and while everything will work out fine, just needed to do something amusing to lighten the mood

Fred: Are you saying that you have more than one Johnson??
How many Johnson's did you say you have?

Are there any chemicals one could use to tone up your Johnson ?
