    Default Interest Check: Sealed(?) Jimmy Conners' Tennis, NES

    I have a copy of Jimmy Conner's Tennis for NES, that is sealed in plastic, but doesn't have the seams I see from other pictures of sealed games. I don't know much about sealed NES games so any help would be appreciated. Here are the pics (i'm sorry if they're blurry or whatever, i'm not the best picture taker):

    The plastic is a harder more crinkly plastic, not a softer non crinkly type (if that makes sense). There's a corner that is missing a very small amount of plastic on the top, and the box does have wear on the corners and the front. I don't know if its a reseal or what, but im hoping you guys can provide some more insight. If there's anything I left out or you have more questions please post here. Thanks.

    The image is blocked here at work, but I can tell you that my old sealed copy of JCT had the horizontal seem. I would think that all legitimate seals would have the seem as well.

    There is no horizontal seem, which leads me to believe it may be a reseal.

    The top of the box looks alittle worn. It may just be the pictures, but it looks like a reseal. I hope the right game is inside as well as the instructions. May be better to sell it as a complete game and just carefully open it. Plus, the hard plastic is often used in resealing. Nice sharp and a "harder to find" complete game, should be easy to sell as a complete.

    Definitely a reseal, here is a legit copy that I previously owned:





    For the record, I sold it for $250 shipped maybe a year and a half ago. I would say that your best bet would be to open it up and sell it as a very nice CIB copy, you could probably expect around $65 (if prices are around what I remember them to be. Still a very nice piece.

    Mark's story is right, but the price of a CIB has fallen. I'd say $40-$50 would be tops in CIB value for this.
