​I'm 99.9% its a reseal. There is no H-Seam as the one documented from Nintendo of Canada auction had, and also I asked seller if the Blockbuster stick was ontop of the plastic or on the box. Seller replied that sticker is beneath plastic and on the box.

I'm 100% sure it is a reseal. If it wasn't it would be $25k, not $3k.

Yeah, when I saw it I thought I stumbled upon a holy grail before anyone else. I decided to do some research before pulling the trigger.

Just by looking closely at the pic you can tell the sticker is under the wrap, I didn't read your full post just clicked the link and had a look and that was the first thing (besides no h seam) that caught my eye. Reseal.

If you guys remember, I sold a "sealed" Transformers Beast Wars Transmetals on eBay back in 2015. It seemed to be a former rental copy. I bought it from Blockbuster myself something like 15 years earlier so I guess you could say that I was the original owner... and you better believe I played up the fact that it was "sealed."

No, I didn't misrepresent it and freely stated that it had been resealed by Blockbuster Video with stickers on and under the wrap. I did say that it was as close to factory sealed as it could get due to specifically who resealed the game: the game's exclusive retailer. I didn't even know if it had the manual inside or not. Eh, good enough.  

TL;DR: Not factory sealed, but sealed by the original exclusive retail distributor.

Intentionally misleading use of the word sealed, and obviously not factory sealed.

And it's a bit crushed. Who knows what the condition of the cart and manual are.

A sealed Transformers sold for almost $1900 a few months back.

I've often wondered if a sealed copy of SC even exists at all. If so, it is THE white whale of N64 collecting. I was excited even clicking this thread, quotations around the word "sealed" tempering my expectations on the way in and all.

There are actually 2 confirmed. I got deep into the internet last night; there was a Nintendo of Canada auction years ago. The one that was in a lot had an H-Seam, and hang tab. Also didn't have any blockbuster sticker. I couldn't find anything on the second, but i would assume it would have to have the same characteristics as this one in order to be confirmed by the community. 

 

I've still never laid eyes on one, I've often wondered what something like that (a sealed or VGA-graded copy) would sell for in an open auction in today's collecting climate.

 

I can help you; http://s296.photobucket.com/user/...

 

Both of the owners of Sculptor's cuts are members of this forum as well. And that Nintendo of Canada auction was actually talked about through here in live time when it happened. Just have to dig around.

Give me 8 minutes and I'll photoshop you anything sealed, signed, and / or graded. Big savings, only 10K.

yeah that auction description is lame 

Thanks Mitch, what a beauty!
 

Was it a similar re-seal?

...because that's the same exact thing CZroe and I got from Blockbuster Game Rush and finally sold (still sealed) a couple years ago. I never found out if there was a manual.

It had an H-seam.  If my memory serves me well, it was the version sold outside of blockbuster and didn't have the exclusive label on the front. 

Looks like it sold today
