I would go with selling them still sealed...
I had a great result selling envelopes of stamps on eBay that were originally sorted and sealed by a stamp dealer in the early 1900's (1905-1910).
I opened ONE from each bundle, to show what was likely inside...
And put the rest of the bundle up on dutch auction.
Most of them were valued at less than $1 for the contents of each envelope (very common stamps).
The sealed envelopes went for from $2 to $8 EACH.
Most of the feedback from buyers was that they really enjoyed opening them themsevles and searching.
No one to my knowledge found anything REAL valuable, but there were a few $2-3 stamps in some.
I started my investment portfolio with the proceeds of these auctions

Hard to belive but maybe there is a glut on the market. Hll I am interested.
I believe you can do better but from what I learned here you are not going to be rich.

If i remember correctly... 1998 Topps Baseball was a stinker. The trading card companies all started getting greedy and were churning out cases and cases of cards like there was no tommorrow.
I stopped collecting cards in '87. The "wood grain" border year. At least there were a bunch of rookies to chase after. McGwire, Canseco, Bo Jackson, heh
**EDIT**
Oops. I meant 1988 Topps Baseball. Not 1998.

Same with me 3d.... '87 I was hardcore, but after that the market got flooded and later crashed... Cards from '87 that had been worth $100 (Canseco rookies) and others just plummeted. Wish I had sold some of them back then, but I'm still holding onto my old cards.
