Frost271 22 Member · Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Anyone know if this game came with no h-seam? I was under the impression that this only came with h-seam. I was scrolling through the upcoming games at Heritage and noticed this upcoming auction. The non rev-A version that was sold a couple of months ago had an H-Seam. https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/winter-games-wata-94-a-sealed-no-rev-a-early-production-nes-acclaim-1987-usa/a/7231-93037.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 The upcoming rev-A version has no h-seam marked as a sealed copy? https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/winter-games-wata-90-a-sealed-nes-acclaim-1987-usa/p/7234-69001.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 Any explanations would be greatly appreciated. I doubt this got labeled wrong. Interested in learning that history. Edited August 10, 2020 by Frost271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetris Mattress 7 Member · Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The story behind this, is that soon after it's release, it was recalled because of a bug. They fixed the bug and resealed the games without an H seam machine. At one point Bronty was 6 games away from an entire licensed sealed NES NTSC set and this was in the last 6. I have owned 2 of these and still own a 80+ (on Ebay) and I have heard of 4 copies known... probably a couple more out there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost271 22 Member · Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Thanks Robin!! Thats nuts. I can only imagine how rare the h-seam version is because it would have to have survived from being recalled. The other side of this, what are the “indicators” of an authentic re-seal? All the normal indicators are out the window: h-seam; flap cracks, roller marks, etc... Hopefully Bronty sees this and adds his two cents.

Speedy_NES 100 Member · Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Is there a link somewhere with more info on this story? I haven't heard it before and am curious to know more details. Is there information on what the bug was? Does the recall also mean that these Rev-A sealed boxes have creaselines then, if the software was simply swapped? Google wasn't much help in finding answers. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
