Message:: [QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7669244, member: 117420"]I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to decide...you might regret it.  I liked a couple suggestions/options posted:  One was to keep it as-is...unopened...at least for a while, to think on it, consider it, the pros and cons, etc.  Almost guarantee you'll feel differently in a month or two, a year or two, etc. than you do now.  Another was to put it out there at a "silly" whatever-it's-worth-to-someone starting price (essentially a reserve) of $2k, $5k, $10k, whatever, with good photos of bag and descriptions of the potential, and see if you get any bites that may not be so silly.  Last, to open it and search.  Yes, there could be something of what was mentioned, but chances/odds are there either won't be, or there won't be enough in sufficient numbers, varieties, conditions, etc. to make it valuable enough after all is said and done of searching, grading/authenticating, et al.  Only you can decide the real value of the option priorities for you.  If it were me, I'd leave it closed/unopened and put it out there for a while at a price that you're willing to accept and see what happens.  I think your chances of coming out ahead, value-wise, are better than searching, but am sure others who like to search for the adventure of it will disagree. To each their own.[/QUOTE]
