I'm baffled by this seal on the back. Is this a vintage reseal or is this a manufacturing error? The guy who sold it is reputable, but he isn't an expert on seals. Sold this as factory sealed, but I'm hoping to get an answer cause he's got piles more to sell.

You'll notice in the second photo it goes in almost a zig zag pattern, each line ends with a scuff on the plastic drops down and starts again. Total oddball I swear.

I didn't take photos of the sides cause they look correct... only the back seal looks odd.

It's totally normal. I can even see the roller-marks in the close-up. We call that a "step-seam"

It is water damaged, but I paid nothing for it. Mainly, its a filler until I get a better copy.

Wonder how it got water damaged through the cellophane. Someone left it outside overnight for a few days?

I have these these several times. These are legit and if you think about it for a second it would be next to impossible for someone to do this by hand if they were going to make a fake. Only a machine can screw up a stright line that bad !

Ugh, I've had my fair share of black mold in games after that one 32X fiasco. YUCK! I hope I NEVER have to deal with that crap again...
