This I will never understand... as most people want to experience the game and goodies inside (Art Book and Soundtrack for exp.) UNLESS IT'S SUPER RARE/opening it doesn't really make it cooler, like a pack of cards (Promo pack, always the same cards) you know what's inside but the booster pack is SOOOOOOOOOOOO limited it makes it cooler to keep it sealed or a display piece where it makes sense to keep it sealed (like a standee if it's sealed in clear plastic, where you can display it and it will always be in top condition).
