Unopened box and pack grading

[Bkrum]

Spent a pretty penny getting all of our packs graded by GAI 10-15 years ago when they were the gold standard for pack grading. Would be disappointing if we now need to get them regraded by PSA. One reason why I hesitate to get the boxes authenticated if we aren't really in the market to sell them.

I recommend opening everything and posting pictures here (not actually advised but would be cool to see)

glad we put our collection together when prices were still somewhat reasonable. And no thanks on the pack opening party

Lets see some pictures. That sounds like a cool collection of unopened stuff. What's your oldest unopened box?

No pics as the boxes are at my Dads house (it's really his collection and not mine). 70 Topps football would be the oldest mainstream box. Packs go back earlier. The prices on some of the basketball boxes are insane. Wow

.. Are you saying there are unopened boxes...of untouched packs....of '70's basketball cards , perhaps containing PSA 10's ' over at my Dad's house'..??.....Oh Em Gee.....are you or your Dad aware of what's going on in the sportscard market currently ??

Somewhat aware of the market and getting more educated every day. Dad (and I to some extent) hoarded some good stuff many many years ago. Also a fair amount of junk wax which he let go of several years ago. We are both kind of like the guys on that Pickers show that that don't like to sell the good stuff. Collection been sitting dormant for a while but now that my kids are getting older and getting back into it a bit.
