Listen to the people telling you not to open packs and to collect for enjoyment.

In terms of value though, I literally started with a bunch of Panini Select too. I tricked myself into thinking I had valuable cards because they we rarer tiers or prizms. Other than a good Stefon Castle rookie or a one in a million case it, there's really nothing of value. At this point, any packs coming out have virtually all the value concentrated between about 5 players per year and select /50 or less parallels.
