exactly.  i know i have cards in my collection that carry more weight than others do just because of sentimental value and such.  alot of people today dont have those same views as another post said and i agree.

sweet pickups regardless...i thought the a-team was great growing up and ive been getting caught up on the old episodes on hulu. 

keep them in the packs and stow them away for your kids they wont be worth the paper they are printed on if you open them. perhaps even have the packs graded and encased for future generations

EAT THE GUM! LOL

exactly true. cards are meant to be enjoyed not high on the investment but unfortunaly somebody threw that out the window a long time ago. to bad. good grab if it reminds you of your childhood.

yeah i would not open them
