jonebone | 1,307 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sweet bold move, it's a tough GBC title for sure. I recall you trying to sell it for awhile, no shame in opening up very worn sealed games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,949 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If that makes you nervous, I'd wonder, what would be the best way to crack open the seal on a high dollar target like that for Gameboy if you're going to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box cutter is fine, but I would have cut across the top instead of the side. Just me though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an expert but I would assume through the flap would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,949 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've been considering cracking open the sealed game I have, it would probably infuriate more than one entitled sort doing it. I don't care about the decrease in value, not exactly at least, as I can't seek money for it now without taking a tax hit. Mostly what stops me is justifying opening it and not being able to have the time to commit to playing it through basically. But just in case I was asking the best route to go when the seal is tight. I was guessing maybe a soft touch around where it's already actually open, maybe cutting a cello-flap of sorts to keep the seal around the box as much as possible still.
