Personally, I'd value this at somewhere around $1000, but if several sealed collectors were looking to complete their collection, it could go for significantly more.
If you start feeling really cheeky and decide to open it, make sure to take pictures and post to the Sealed Games thread (see my signature).
I'm certainly not that cheeky!
Do you have anybody that you would recommend for authentication of the plastic wrap seal?
I guess unless I get special permission from Deniz at Wata, Wata won't authenicate or grade this game.
VGA doesn't authenticate, only grades.
For what it's worth, I have read here, on NA, that there can be a couple of seal variants on Stack-Up, no H-seam, etc - and again, for what it's worth, the seal feels and looks pretty legit. It feels just like my other sealed games, But it would be nice to have that confirmed.
