    My only question, and I don't know the answer because I don't collect them, but would a damaged envelope affect the value? If so be careful how you open it.

    There is an 1/8 inch hole in one envelope. It only shows the cert.

    Bart probably spent the coins on bubble gum and put slugs in their place.

    Bart now keeps his teeth in a glass at night next to the poly grip.

    Becky now takes care of old Numismatist who has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel .

    What lessons can we learn...... candy is dandy, but Becky will make you leave her your coins.
    Or she'll turn off the machine that's keeps breathing.

    Well . ...I'm betting the the slugs that Bart put in there....you know that "Bart" is a villain name.......
    you know if you name your kid Bart he's a bad seed.....
    it sort of like naming your daughter Hazel you know she's going to work in the no tell motel cleaning rooms.

    I doubt the envelopes will add to the value, unless there are some OCD lunatics who collect such a thing. EBay is full of these "unopened proof set envelopes" but they have all been opened and checked for rare varieties.
    Open them up and photograph them. A picture is worth a thousand words.

    Well I don't mean to crack them out of the encased mint plastic. Just open the envelope. I never understood people who would buy "unopened" wax packs of baseball cards and never open them.
    There's videos on YT. Here's my collection. ALL UNOPENED packs. What's the point? Where is the fun?

    I've seen envelopes from these years being sold on eBay by the hundreds.

    I have all ways been the buyer that's likes to touch, and give a full evaluation, of the coin before purchasing.

    Like Bob (robec) mentioned above, replacement envelopes can be had on ebay. I, myself, am more concerned with the condition of the pliofilm and not the envelope itself. Sometimes they can have some interesting things written on them.
