Factory Sealed GAME BOY SYSTEM (the very first one?)

[Dark_Sol]

First of all i'm not sure it is FACTORY sealed. It's not shrinkwrapped. But it is sealed with two Nintendo stickers on both sides.
the last one shrinkwrapped as some of you may remember sold for INSANE money:

Mine is the same except it has a retailer mailing card attached on back and sealed with two nintendo stickers. One of the stickers is almost torn from stirring of one side of the box itself. But it was NEVER opened for sure.
Here are some pics.

I'm not sure of the value but that is the factory seal. I still have mine that I bought new when I was a kid. It is the same basic set as that one and it wasn't shrinkwrapped when I got it. Just had the sticker seal like that one. This set was made toward the end of the original gameboys production. I bought mine at a Kmart when I was on a road trip with my parents and my gameboy died. Earlier ones came with tetris. These did not. But mine actually came with zelda and just had a sticker on the outside of the same box to let you know it came with a game.

Yeah, it is definitely new and that is one of the ways they sealed it. Above poster is correct in his statement that the later versions did not have the seam as the original releases did.

This version still has value, but is a lot easier to find than the 1st release with the seam on the back. Consequently, it is also significantly less valuable.

Still, you are looking at about $300 for it. The seal sticker being slightly worn like that may scare away some potential bidders, though.

as a side note thats like the third box variation released for it.
