hello all. i was going through some of my collection yesterday and came across what i remembered to be the sealed berry gameboy color i picked up off eBay a few years back for i think $100. it was advertized as factory sealed new, so at the $100  buy it now i snagged it up.  i looked at it again for the first time in a year or two yesterday and noticed that the bottom seal looked a little funny. its kind of overlapping and almost looks like a seal has been re-applied (??)  i can see the gameboy itself through the little opening in the box and it looks like it has never been used. i was thinking of maybe selling it but now i am worried it is not a factory seal. has anyone heard of sellers doing things like this on gameboy colors? it is the lower seal that looks like it was tampered with. i can take an image if it helps.  i would hate the open it under the suspicion of it being a reseal when it turns out it was a factory seal.

especially that dark looking stuff on the bottom seal looks very suspect

Any spine creasing on the bottom flap? Creasing that would occur from opening it multiple times that is.

I can't tell if it's a repeal or just a seal that's been damaged, can you take pictures with better lighting.
