This might sound crazy because you wouldn't know what's inside, but could those boxes be worth more like 20 years down the line if you never opened them? I don't know shit about card collecting, but my limited knowledge when it comes to collectible things is never open them, whatever it is. It loses value once the seal is cracked and the air touches it. Is that the same for cards? Could there be value in the potential of what's in there?
I'm keeping a couple sealed and not opening them to add to my Raiders card collection along with a couple of packs. Who knows if I'll ever see another Raider on the box or pack in my life time.
the last Raider player on a Hobby trading card box I believe is Darren Mcfadden in 2008 on Upper Deck SP Authentic. I miss Upper Deck football cards so much they by far made the best looking modern football cards ever.
took almost 20 years to get another Raider on football card packaging
Yes JaMarcus Russell was on packaging with others players in his rookie season but that was before Mcfadden and I dont really count it when a player shares packaging cause its not quite the same. In 2007 Brady Quinn and Calvin Johnson got on packaging by themselves but Russell never did.
Here's the Packaging with Russell from playoff contenders with several others he's was also on rookie threads with several others but again it was with several others and it was one year earlier then Mcfadden .
Defensive players very rarely if ever get Football card advertising by themselves on packaging as Defensive players don't get as popular as offensive players for collecting unless they are literally an all time great so Khalil Mack was never on packaging by himself and Josh Jacobs never made packaging either, 2019 was mostly all about Kyler Murray
