Does Harvest Moon 64 sealed not have H-seam?

I was on ebay looking at sealed Harvest Moons and noticed that most of them have seals that go along all 4 sides of the box no seam across the back is this Legit? and if so are there many sealed N64 games like this?

    I have a sealed Razor Freestyle Scooter that I posted pictures of here:

    The non-pictured side (the yellow side) doesn't have a seal, so it could be a similar thing. Also, I opened up a WWF No Mercy and I'm pretty sure it had no back seam, definitely a legit seal too.

    N64 seals are all over the place. The V-seam doesn't mean much on N64 stuff. Most of your first party titles will have a V-seam (Mario Parties / Mario / Starfox / etc.) but that's about it. Even some first party titles like Zelda OoT come in a V-seam and a non V-seam version.



    Late releases tend to be missing V-seams, like Conker. Lots of 3rd party stuff also misses the V-seam.



    I do think that Harvest Moon is probably legit without a V-seam, but I'm going from memories of auctions I've watched and not because I actually own one.

    I have a doubt about my sealed copy. I've just never seen a factory copy without v-seam.
    Is it ligit?

    Yeah sorry, that appears to be a reseal. Missing overlap seam, missing vent holes, tope and bottom seams look questionable at best, and not to mention all of the wear that appears to be under the wrap.

    It's time to look inside.

    Everything is mint, without scratches or finger prints.

    Interesting... probably a store reseal I'd presume. From my understanding of western (i.e. Pacific / Asian) culture, opened games are often resealed to show that they are "New / never used" instead of an attempt to increase their value. At least that's what I've been told when purchasing a resealed game from out there.

    I bought it on US ebay for $70 with shipping. The lot was called "bad fur day".
