GameCube sealed games question

[ConsoleCollector88 | 8]

I posted this on collecting questions, maybe its better off here? Remove whatever one if this is an issue, sorry. Anyways, 

I am looking at a sealed version locally of first print Animal Crossing this week and I have been trying to do some research on what to look for before I drop some good money on it. I came across a few postings that say there was actually glue used in the sealing of these games along the top and bottom seals, which can be slightly noticeable when inspecting closely - Is this correct?

Not as knowledgeable about the glue. But the one thing I'd suggest looking at is the case artwork and making sure none of the edges have wear.

Yup, aware of this already but thanks!

I only have three sealed Gamecube games and I'm not too sure about the glue. I've attached a few pictures, so hopefully those help. Good luck!

Thank you, I agree it’s very hard to tell. I’ve looked at tons of games for sale on eBay too. Does the overlapping seal on these games run towards the front or back?
