I'm interested in how collectors categorize their collections. How does it qualify as a rare miss seal and not a resealed copy?

    Well, I obviously cant attest to its authenticity 100%, but to fake a factory seal tear strip is very difficult. Also, the Y folds on the top and bottom are very neat and flat. Someone must have fed in into the machine that seals games wrong? I honestly don't know how the machines operate.

    Thanks. It's alright if you don't have all the answers. It's just kind of a hobby of mine. It started a few years ago when Beckett started slabbing old phone cards from Japan. It's usually just a fun little trip through another fandom, but sometimes it just seems fraudulent on the surface.

    I think when you get into grading there is a certain level of fraudulent activity going on. There are definitely the odd re seals out there but I've personally not seen or come across a fake seal tab.
