Happened into this game, and I know very little about most sealed games, and less about N64 seals. So, is this a factory seal? It doesn't have the seam across the back like NES/SNES games do, but it does have what looks like a .5 inch overlap on the back where the plastic meets up. I wouldn't expect to see that on a re-seal, but who knows.

If it is sealed, what's it worth? As you can see in the pictures, it is by no means in perfect condition, but not horrible, either.

Looks new to me, though I'm not an expert. The RZone sticker makes it seem even more likely that it's not a reseal.

If it was actually a game that pulled an absurd amount of money, I wouldn't place trust in a sticker. But for games that are found off ebay, and aren't $100 games, I can't imagine someone sealing up a game and putting a sticker on it.

I have 2 banjo tooie sealed games. One was purchased in USA and has the horizontal seam like any NES, GB, SNES and N64 games ...

The other one is sealed by GAMELA, the official distributor of NINTENDO in Latin America. Those gamela are factory sealed ... but truth is that they opened a USA game to add an spanish insert and then resealed the game with another plastic with "GAMELA" printed on it.

It is a reseal.

In fact, there is one factory sealed on ebay right now:

It looks legit to me, some N64 games were sealed that way on the back. I have a few sealed Zelda: MM and they all have that overlapping seal.
