Resealed Sonic 2 cardboard

I've had TWO of these sealed and can say with a fair degree of certainty this guy's trying to pull a scam.

Beware.

"I tried finding out more about this game since it is in a cardboard box rather than your typical plastic case and only found that these are kinda of rare."



Anyone know this guy?

    Might be real.



    Edit: Oh wait are you saying that this particular one is fake? or that the cardboard variant is not real? Because I believe the cardbord variant IS a real thing, but I have no idea if this particular one is real.

    He just sold one here recently so I think he is implying that the listing is a re-seal.

    Am I the only one to find it weird that the hangtab is sealed too?

    Gamegear games were sealed that way. It IS weird tho.

    I am far from an expert on this, but most Game Gear games show a break in the top where the hangtab would poke through. If anything, I'd be more suspicious of the one that shows no break up top, the one marked Lint. Is that the one you sold?

    Look how tight that seal is on his box is (it's also perfect and undamaged while the game underneath is jacked up- and how the top is opened up clean from the machine and he does not show the sides.

    Not right at all.



    I have purchase two "new sealed Sonic 2" cardboard copies of the game from sellers on ebay who had no idea what they had.

    Both were legit, both had a loose-ish "budget bin" sort of seal that included the hangtab at the top, but then is folded over on itself.

    One was pretty much mint.

    LMAO sloth addition was perfectly executed.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there are variants of this release.

    It might be legit, but someone else is going to have to "find out."



    Just putting a warning out there it's different from the ones I've seen.
