It feels like the overwhelming consensus is "open the box."

With my luck, if I opened the box, it would only yield a Noah Welch and a George Parros.
 
I’ve often thought of holding onto sealed boxes for the appreciation. That’s probably the smart thing to do...but where’s the fun in that? I’d say open it!

On a related note...where might one find a box of 06-07 SPA for $300?

I guess it comes down to risk tolerance. Will you be ok losing $300 of potential sale if you get nothing of value for the box for the chance at a slim chance at a multi $1000 card.
 
I remember I opened a box of 2006-07 SP Authentic about a half decade ago, back before those products had a price boom (I think I paid $200CDN for it at the time). I got a Timo Helbling Future Watch auto and an Evgeni Malkin Sign of the Times from it.

You usually get three autos in those boxes. I remember opening cases of that stuff. Malkin was the best thing I opened though :(

I'm sure I got three, but it is likely that the other auto was so inconsequential that I do not remember it. I remember the Helbling because it was possibly the worst 05-06 FW AU to get and I remember the Malkin since it was his rookie year.
 
I voted to hold it for now. The quantity of sealed boxes has to be very small even now, and it's only going to get smaller. Being that it's Malkins rookie year and you can get Ovechkin and Crosby rookies from it, not to mention everyone else from the two rookie classes, means it's only going to appreciate in value. If you have an itch to scratch, pick up a cheap blaster or something.
 
I lean toward let it appreciate, but...it's been 13 years. Feels like the secret should be out.

Does anyone know about redemptions in this box?
 
I thought I would revive this thread because...

Pssst what's in the box??? I totally got baited by this thread, and bought a box :owned:

Honestly, prior to purchasing, I had full intention to open the box. After purchasing, I'm leaning towards just holding onto it for now because I don't quite have that itch to open it anymore. Maybe one day with enough convincing... Fun thread though haha
 
$300 only? The price has reach it's peak and even with most cards going nuts including pokemon during the pandemic, hockey really hasn't seen the type of success as other sports for whatever reason. This product imho is one of the best rookie classes and products ever in any sport, and to see the price at a respectable 300 a box, i'd rip that all day and night!
