I bought this sealed copy of Tengen Tertris for the NES and was wondering what it might be worth? It almost feels like there is no game inside. It is bent up in places so I'm sure that will affect the value.

No, should I weigh a regular NES game without the box and make sure it weighs at least that?

Does it have the H seam? I'm not sure if tengen releases had them or not but I would think it should?

It does not appear to have any seam on the back. Like you said, not sure if Tengen did that or not.

I'd say if it's around 7 oz or more then there is a game. If it is pretty under that, there probably isn't a game in there and it is a reseal.

I don't know exactly how Tengen wrapped there stuff but someone will chime in that does eventually here.

It shouldn't feel like there is no game inside, but there would be no h-seam on that game.

WTB Cdn sealed black boxes, sealed Cdn first party titles.    I.e. the "mattel" Cdn boxes with both french and english.   Mainly black boxes, zelda, link, and tyson, but let me know what you have.    I am interested in anything I don't already have!

You can tell that there is something inside the bottom of box, but it only seems to be about 3 inches tall.

Go to the airport and just put it with the rest of your stuff when you go through security, then try to see it go through on the screen.

Box that a rental shop had resealed and on display is very likely.

This!

If there was a game in there you would know.
