Default 2019-20 Panini Prizm Gravity Boxes Rip or Sell?

Hey everyone... so... I was fortunate enough to snag 5 full 2019-20 Panini Prizm Basketball Gravity feed boxes at my local target a few months back (plus other prizm product) when our vendor was stocking. As soon as he put them up, I took them down lol. My wife and I ripped into 1 box and I pulled a Ja Silver, promptly got it graded, and sold it for $600+. I've still got some debt to pay off on the credit card (roughly $600) and can easily do so by selling the rest of my Gravity feeds, but i've also got 7 hanger boxes and 2 cellos boxes sealed... so i'm sitting on profit already if I sell everything as is...

My question is, I've heard Gravity boxes are potentially the best retail format for this past years Prizm product... (and my hunch is with my Ja pull these 4 could have some good stuff in them)... after fees and such, I could get around $350 I would guess on eBay... so, in your opinion what do I do? Rip or Sell?

Thanks so much in advance for your input and advice!

Sell, 2019-20 product is hot right now. Take advantage while you can on the guaranteed return.

Thanks for your advice! That's where I've been leaning, hence me holding it for so long already. Just wanted to double check im still on the right track. Thank you!

Rip = Gamble
Sell = Guaranteed Profit

The answer is simple unless you're a degenerate gambler.

I still have my gravity box in the closet with no intention of breaking it at the moment. The 2018-19 gravity boxes are north of $500 now, so those have room to go up. I would keep those and sell off the cello or hanger boxes to pay off your credit card or sell the cellos and open the hangers.

Gravity feeders are good...very good (most success came from these in 2019-20). Reason I don't buy them on secondary market is because they're easily tampered with.

Sell. Gravity feeds have become overpriced because it's almost impossible to find a sealed one. Blasters? All of them are. Cello Boxes? Hard but you can find them.

It's probably the most overpriced retail SKU but not because of its contents but because it can be a collector item down the line.

rhetorical question, as they are not sealed.

rip and enjoy

I was lucky enough to find 2 full gravity feed boxes. One actually had 3 purple pulsars (all crap). Overall they’re a fun rip but i liked hangers and cellos better.
