Not a Pre-80s Question...I hope that is okay

Plus the box only has 540 cards and the set is 800. There might be no Griffeys at all. Most cards straight out of the pack have some small flaw that will keep it from being a 10.

I'd sell the box to someone who wants to gamble. Either that or you've got a nice start to a collection of UD unopened boxes.

Very valid points. I've kept the box of foil packs in a container for over 20 years, therefore, I haven't really mishandled the box. I just wonder if there are imperfections when the cards were packaged in the factory.

Also, there is the possibility there won't be a Jr. in there if I open all the packs.

Has anyone open vintage packs and had them immediately graded? If yes, what kind of grade came back? how many 10s, 9s, 8s???

1989 Upper Deck wax was split into two series'. From what I can remember, the first series has the word "New" in the dark band on the bottom right hand corner.

Are very low

If you want to open the box go ahead; but understand there are no guarantees either way
