Unopened foil and wax packs of sports cards. Open for individual cards or sell sealed packs

Came across some unopened packs of sports cards mostly baseball from the1990s. Is it best to open the pack and look for a single individuals to sell or try and sell the entire unopened/sealed pack.

I doubt that the individual sealed packs are worth much unless you have hundreds of them.

There are a few individual cards from the 90s that are worth considerable money, but the odds of finding them are slim.

So, I would treat the sealed packs like scratch-off lottery tickets and hope to hit the jackpot.

When you are finished, give the cards to a young enthusiast that thinks cards from the 90s are ancient treasures. :giggle:
 
Well had a decision made for me. Found several foil packs of Upper Deck hockey cards premiere edition where the glue or seal failed but cards in excellent shape hopefully I'll find a rookie or novelty card. They were in boxes, bags etc in but they were also stored in an attic for several years my guess heat-had them low near ventilation but the attic or time(30 years) got them. Ignored them when the sports card market dropped a few years later. The wax packs held up better.

Some say card packaging themselves might have value? It's scary stumbling on instructional videos on how to 'open' a pack of cards. That tells me some might have been hunting for the good ones then replace and reseal the package ie fraud.
