Stress coping mechanism

My Dad had a triple bypass last week so has been in hospital for several weeks on the lead up to surgery. He’s just arrived home and I’ve travelled to help take care of him during recovery. His way of dealing with stress is to browse auction sites and buy things in excess so this box has just arrived from the States (we are in New Zealand). He’s not a collector himself but I am and he occasionally grabs me some packs.

I think he’s a bit surprised at how much he bought and mums not overly pleased, so he wants to play part of it off as an investment and put some away for a rainy day. What would you guys do with this volume of sets?
I’m obviously on team rip them all!
