Today at a local gameshop I encountered a sealed copy of Heart of the Alien. I think it's factory sealed, but I'm not sure. The shop I bought it at does not reseal games (99% of their classic games are not sealed) and the clerk said that he expects its a factory seal - but what do they know?
First off, I'll note that there are two cracks in the plastic case. One on the front of the case, the other on the back. Also, there are a few small rips in the plastic seal on the back of the case. There is a seal seam going around the outside of the case on every side but the top. Stuck to the top of the back of the case is the remnants of what used to be a plastic display loop.
I've taken a few pictures of the case - could someone confirm whether they expect its a genuine seal or a reseal?
If it is a genuine seal - is there any value to a sealed Heart of the Alien? (the online rarity guide is down )
