I've heard that the factory never sealed Vectrex games, that only some dealers places a band around the entire box covering both end flaps. I'm also not sure that there is an MB version of Minestorm II but you just missed 2 carts on Ebay this past week at $565 and $499.

Hi!

 

Sorry, I had a mistake, I am not looking for a Minestorm II.

 

I have 3 sealed MB games, bought in 3 differents countries in EU, and all games have the same seal, I don´t know if the seal was put for the dealers or not, but it´s the same in my 3 games..

 

Regards!

It is easy to add shirkwrap to a box these days to make a mint CIB game sell for more money. So, you have to be very careful when buying ANY sealed game. People do it all the time with SNES titles.

 

I was not present when games were sold new and I haven't seen much conversation regarding sealed games. Milton Bradley might have done things differently, which would explain why European games are much cleaner than USA games. If American games came with seals, there would be far less boxes with stickers and at least 60-70 percent of CIB games come with stickers directly on the box. Its impossible to say at what point in its life those stickers were added though.
