Now, my situation, which I admit is a good one to have. I'm not a baseball collector, so do I:

A) Sell the box on eBay
B) Break the box to satisfy my urge to break a box and possibly pull something big :pray: that I could either sell or trade for hockey stuff
C) Sit on the box for a while and hope it will go up in value

Option A is the "safest" option and gets me some $$$ in a relatively short amount of time, which I could use to buy some hockey wax (UD1) or singles. Option B is more risky, but the upside is a lot bigger. Option C is the most risky, and the upside is questionable, at best.

Realistically, there's zero chance I'd be able to store the box for any significant period of time before I'd break it. My conservative side is swayed by Option A. The hopelessly-addicted-to-sports-cards side wants Option B. On the plus side, since I won the box my wife can't really complain about it. :fighting0050:
