<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1098909, member: 66"]1.) No If you have a sealed set you have three possibilities it could be premium, it could be average, or it could be a problem set. Since average by definition would be most of the sets. Then you add in the problem sets and you now have 90% or more of all the possible sets that could be in that envelope are worth average money OR LESS! So why would you pay a premium for it?</p><p><br /></p><p>2.) No, I've just shown that the odds are seriously stacked against you. If I'm going to gamble I either want better odds or a better payout.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.) Yes I could leave it sealed because I don't really care about it (I have other sealed boxes I bought from the mint years ago.) besides I know my best chance of making a profit is to leave it sealed until I sell it to the next greater fool. The odds are better at making money that way than from finding something good in the box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
