How to determine legitimate N64 seals

okay so I have a handful of N64 sealed games and I am a bit clueless in which ones could be fake ... i would also not be opposed to selling them



i can get pictures, but just curious if there is something i should pay attention to into what to check for to determine that they are in fact factory sealed ... i had purchased most of these in lots on ebay awhile back, but would probably open them if it turns out the seals are fake



thanks

    I'm no expert since I'm not a sealed collector, but I would look for H-seam and probably some vent holes?

    post pics, its usually easier to see then explain.

    As with any boxed game, look for wear around the edges, scratches under the seal, stuff like that. As for seal types, I can't help you. I only have one sealed N64 game (Perfect Dark) and I'm not even 100% sure mine is legit.

    some have h-seams, some do not. JoneBone would be the one to ask about these for sure.

    Okay I finally got the images uploaded.  Let me know what you think.  All were purchased on ebay in a few separate lots or picked up at a flea market.  I am pretty sure most are factory sealed, but there could be a few scally wags that are not and therefore I invoke the skills of the N64 sealed masters to help me figure this out.  Thank you all for your input.

    H-seam, v-seam, and overlap seam... Become familiar with those 3 types.

    To me, just skimming through them, Wipeout, Duke Nukem, and Hot Wheels look resealed, but that's just a little skim.
