Should I open this box or put it away?

Picked up a box of Marvel Universe Series IV (1993) from a local seller and was going to just put it away.............BUT, I do need a few cards from this set, what do you reckon, bust it or not?

anytime i put a box away for later or even for keeping, sooner or later i inevitably break down and open it. save yourself the time and just bust it...

If you bought it to open because opening is fun, there's no advantage in waiting to open it. If you bought it to sell because it was very cheap or something, boxes are a pain to sell from Australia unless the box is so rare that it's worth the buyer paying for shipping (or you can find an Australian buyer), which is not likely for these.

Do you have someone to trade with? If so, definitely open because you could finish the set. However, if you have several missing cards and nobody to trade with, the 180 card base set may make it difficult to finish even if you open it and that would be disappointing. From Jeff's checklist site, you can expect 3-4 chase cards but the holograms are only 1 per 5 boxes.

I vote yes

I have some spares if you want to send me a list and I will see what I've got, that way you might be able to keep it
