What would be the going rate on these? Is there a premium over just 6 loose boxes…? 100% sealed vs. 1 or 2 flaps open, etc
My opinion is that it’s simply the added sum of the individual box values in the given condition.

I have a very special case that has only one lengthwise flap open which I did to verify the contents. I’ve kept it like that all these years because I feel there is a very high premium to be realized…eventually.
Is that true of all cases? I believe so. I simply ask myself, “Would I rather have 6 loose boxes or all 6 boxes sealed in a case?”. For sure I’ll pick the case and maybe even if I had to pay a small premium.

I think cases should hold a premium. One of the major reasons for me is that it serves as proof that the boxes haven’t been tampered with.
I feel like 100% sealed vs. 1 flap is tricky. I always go back and forth. I feel like sealed Base Set cases are always such a gamble because there are so many variants and I haven’t found a way to differentiate based on the outer case alone.

I would say that there is a premium to having a case of 6 sealed boxes. What would the cost be on something like that?..I would say probably a 10-20% premium. but who really knows…
Gary, I have heard this story before…but Im still wondering is the case of unlimited, shadowless or 1st edition base set boxes??..Either way very cool!! If its a case of first edition base set boxes than I can see why your dubbed king_pokemon lol
Here’s an old pic from a listing I ran years ago. Now it’s stored away;)

All hail King Pokemon hahaha! thats beautiful.
I still have the iPhone boxes too lol.
A factory sealed OG iPhone would be a pretty nice collector piece no doubt.
I saved all my iPhone boxes going back to the 3 lol. Typical hoarder lol

Wow! Is there any story you can share as to how you came into possession of that case?
Wish I had an exciting story but I don’t. Back in 1999 there was a lot of back and forth buying and selling. This case was just a part of all that activity. I do remember that 1st Base was a big deal even back then. I sold many packs for 50.00 ea… all unweighed. That was a lot for a poke pack back then,
