It doesn't matter if it's a smart choice to open, people will do it anyway. Look at the collectors who open thousands of dollars worth of modern crap. Modern unopened generally averages a 20-30% return on investment and they eat it up. A 1975 Topps mini box right now has about a 50-75% ROI at $2,500 a box. It could go up to $4,000 or $5,000 and people will still open it.

While I've never been an active poster on the PSA boards, I have read them on and off. And I know a lot of people buy these boxes and open them to submit to PSA. Bubblebathgirl opens up a lot of late 70s cello boxes.
