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!

FOR ALL FUTURE REFERENCE: STAY AWAY FROM "jm-ink-max, aka tech supply center". Sells resealed games as original seals.

Yup...good thread for Cubers. Anyone who has bought Gamecube games from me can be assured, that all my Cube games we authentic and used! Sealed games last about as long as OREOs around me!!

Are there any legit seal variants to add? I just got a sealed batman in the mail with a seam on the spine. I say it's legit because it has an "EA" stamp on the bottom fold of the seal. Just wondering if there's anything else to add to the thread since this was made over 2 years ago and several members still use this as a reference.

Thanks for showing me what to avoid when I do some more reseals. I'll have to put in some more practice next time.

This is a very good thread, and deserves a bump! I just received a re-sealed Ikaraga...it has the y fold but the fold is not actually sealed. There is also clear wear to the insert in the case which was my first hint at a reseal. Not too happy that these reseals are getting more common, this is literally the first "sealed" gamecube game I purchased.

I posted a few pictures in this thread of a reseal I got from Tech Supply Center on Amazon. He has a couple other "New" games I want, but just can't trust that seller anymore. Did he ever make it into the Hall of Shame?

I would have fallen for this fake, looks very close to the original. Just a few more years til fakes look like the exact thing.
