' You just'? , If you read what I said you will find I did nothing but receive and take care of the console. Soon as it arrived it went straight into a box protector.
The way I see it what was done to this console and what happened here (oof) is a big difference, no items were touched, moved or breathed on, however its subjective and I agree its opened, but I personally still consider it 'new'. Also, on a lesser note, If I sent any new nes console to one of the big three graders, to my albeit limited knowledge they open it and grade the inside also, Ive seen a couple of reports before, they grade the box and internals and they are CiB not 'sealed'. I could be wrong and totally hold my hands up if thats the case but Ive definitely seen grading reports showing this.
