phart010 | 1,707 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 This game is sealed, but it has seen better days. What do you all think it’s worth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,904 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) If I ever had that "wild hair" to open a rare, sealed game, it'd be a game like this. Yes, being sealed certainly helps the value but IMHO, open that puppy up and let those crispy, minty contents breeeeeathe.

jonebone | 1,307 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Around CIB price in that condition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The plastic looks so beat, plus the tape. I don't think I would keep it on, crack it open! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some long debates about that topic interwoven in numerous threads here. Personally, I'll take a clean CIB over a ratty sealed game any day, plus you can actually play it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if sealed is worth more, I’d sell sealed to buy cib rather than opening a sealed game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,904 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'd trust @jonebone's advice on this one. Even if you would really like a copy of this game, if a copy like this can get you the same amount of cash as a really nice CIB copy, I'd either sell it as is and shop out a CIB copy in better condition, or I'd look for a trade with someone who'd consider it an upgrade. Regardless, I think removing the shrinkwrap on a tatted game can make sense, especially if you can remove the items and clean up and lightly restore the box to look better. With proper handling, those corners could be cleaned up and you could straighten up the crushing. You could make that game look a whole lot better if you could get under the wrapping. If you really want to profit from this one, you could cut a slit on the side, pull out the game, fix up the box and slid it back in. I have no clue why some people value games in original wrapping after it's been opened, but that can help the value too. It might make it a bit easier to spot-clean the wrapping for dust on the inside and make it look better too. You'd have to be careful with the entire process, but it could be done, unless the wrapping has shrunk to much from climate over the years. In that case, once it's off, it's off for good.
