I used my 12th birthday money to a box of 1993 Topps at a Big Lots in Toledo, OH. This was the first time ever buying a full box of unwrapped cards. I remember being so excited to get to open them with my best friend. Just printed out the checklist to see if I do in fact have a complete set. Can't wait to see what I got! Rating: 10 | ||
I still remember the 8-year-old me ripping out all those packages. It was a birthday gift from my mother. My first ever box of baseball cards. | ||
I just picked up a complete set still factory sealed, (for $50. locally, but after checking ebay comps, the set sells for roughly $100.) Now I'm debating on whether to open it or leave it sealed as it also contains 10 gold cards, plus 3 black gold cards). I already have the base Jeter rc, and recently just sent it in to a new grading company called Next Level Grades ($15. to have graded by A.I. but mostly, I just wanted it protected better by being in a slab). However, the possibility of there being a gold Jeter in my sealed set..? I am not sure if I should open or leave it sealed. Keep in mind, I'm in my 50s and every card I own, will go to my grandson one day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. | ||
