The sight-unseen market is for those who buy the black box not the coin. Dealers don't pay very much because nobody wants them.
A month ago I saw big stacks of those black boxes in a shop, collecting dust. I didn't ask to see what was inside, but I did ask the dealer if they were buying modern proof sets. He laughed. Nobody wants them either. Sadly my dad bought a lot of them. He died without opening any of his blue boxes. For him they were an investment and he didn't care about the coins. He never knew how much money he lost when I sold them.
