When you try to pull open the packing tape that was used to seal these, it would almost certainly damage or distort the bag.
stratochamp wrote:ryan cover your eyes. in my opinion, there is nothing inherently aesthetic or valuable about shrinkwrap, except that, if it is original shrinkwrap, it means that an item hasn't been mucked with (or in the case of a boxed set, ENOUGH strategically placed shrinkwrap means the box has been unable to be opened and the contents are therefore complete. so, while i believe it was absolutely wrong for the seller to reference "shrink", dbartman is probably correct in writing that the item had never been opened or touched, which is the only real value shrinkwrap actually has. OKAY RYAN you can come back to the thread now.
