Sealed PSx Longbox Games

[Griking]

I came across a sealed copy of the longbox PSx game vTennis today. Is there any way of telling if its factory shriinkwrapped or resealed?

It's been years since I've seen any longbox PSX games, so I wouldn't know if they've got the holographic seal on top...do they?

I don't think there's an easy way to tell. That said, certain longbox games are selling for quite a bit sealed, and I'd imagine the hack artists will be getting in the business soon enough.

Even if they do have the seal at the top, they could have just unwrapped the game, left it there for years, then resealed it. The foil does not matter.

Just be happy you got it sealed.
Nice find, btw.

If this was an eBay auction, I'd say...sure...but he's got it in his hands and it's likely be obvious if it was a reseal, unless somebody did it really well...in that case, you'd never be able to tell.

It's all about the feel of the plastic. There is no holographic seal sticker on the top. Only thing that your going to see is a top and bottom seal. Thats gonna be about it. Ive got jeweled game sealed, I can take pics for you later tonight and post them, if you really want to compare. Otherwise theres not alot thats really tellable with the shrinked Longbox games. Since they are so easy to mimic.
