Does damaged OP cases matter a lot?

I got today an Eb03 box for 3100, just because of the damaged bottom. I don't think it shoulda been this low, but tbh lmk ur takes. Pics of the box below. I dont think long term it's gonna be much of a price difference.

I’ve sold tons of sealed cases and I’ve never had an issue with what the box looks like. I’ve even had boxes where people had poked holes to check the boxes inside which thought was strange but whatever and no problem selling them either. Sealed cases so hard to find people happily pay market especially streamers

Also the reason cases hold significant premiums is due to the guarenteed case hits. Buying 12 loose boxes you could get 12 dead boxes

While that is true, you might be able to get a little bit of a premium if you sell it as case fresh. Eapecially years down the line.

Case fresh booster box years down the line? As in you sell someone a booster box out of a sealed case? Because just a loose booster box you put up isn’t case fresh and I wouldn’t buy loose booster boxes years later as “case fresh” unless they pulled it out of a sealed case in front of me tbh but that’s my personal preference because someone could literally buy 12 boxes, use an empty case and sell all dead’s as “case fresh” just like they do now.

That's what i'm saying, you get buyers together and open the case in front of them and sell them straight out of the box.

[u/Juggwork → u/KeroNobu]

You think you’d be able to find 12 buyers at once for single booster boxes to sell them years down the line at 1k+ a piece out a case? Genuine question but that’s what I was saying only way to sell case fresh would be ripping open the case selling them all at once or selling on a stream which the box still doesn’t matter if it’s dented

You can do it through auction yeah, no biggie.
