I think it depends on how and where you've stored them all these years. Those cards from the mid-90s tend to stick together after awhile. You could open them and find that they are chunks of cards instead of individual cards. I certainly hope that's not the case for your sake. Personally I don't think they are worth THAT much more unopened. If it were vintage it would be a different story but not from the mass-produced years.

keep them sealed. if your in no hurry to open them, then why do it now. people love pristine unopened stuff and will always sell higher then opened

Want to buy a couple pristine boxes of 88 Donruss? lol......

I loved reading all of the ideas and suggestions. To answer someone's question. They are wax boxes with individual packs of cards not topps sets. Some of the earlier years 86-88 still have the gum inside of them. I know what you are saying about the 1990's cards. I bought a box of 1995 and opened them up and they were a sealed nightmare. I threw most of them away they were so badly damaged from being stuck together. I have them in rubbermaid tubs in a relatively good environment. Not to hot/cold dry/wet. So I am hoping that won't a problem. For now I guess I will continue to collect 2 wax boxes of Topps series I and II. And when I retire I might decide then to open them up and relive the memory of the players from those years. Thanks again for all of your responses...
