Is it normal for a n64 OOT seam to be wrinkled/shrunken?

Hey all,



I recently picked up a copy of sealed Ocarina of Time for the n64. The box has vent holes and is in decent condition with few minor creases. However, I am unsure if it is normal for the seam on the back to look wrinkled. Is it due to old age? I could not find another n64 game with a seam that looks similar to what I have. Should I question whether the game was really factory sealed?



Also, as you can probably tell, I am new to collecting n64 games so be kind!

Not a sealed expert by any means, but that looks weird

Judging by the corners of the plastic wrap on the bottom of the game ( looking at the front of the game) jutting out, that looks like a re-seal. It just seems too imperfect. None of my sealed N64 games look like that, except one that was re-sealed. And I got shiestered a couple times a few years ago because of me excitement and impulsive decisions.

I'm no expert but the corners all look to have box wear. It's hard to tell and it could be the plastic that's worn bot there should be NO box wear on covered parts if it's a legit seal.

Not a sealed expert either. I've got a couple N64 games with seals like that but I see a few white spots (especially along the back right side & corners) that look suspicious.
