Default Re: Is it normal for sealed steelbooks to have minor scratches on the inside edges?

Hey thanks for the response. Im new to strelbooks. And yes it came with a slipcover... though the scratches are on the inside edges of the steelbooks. You know where the two corners meet when the steelbook is closed?

The scratches appear as if the two ends were pressed hard and rubbed onto each other.

I hope that makes sense lol.

Whats a Y fold? I assume its the fold that allows you to open the steelbook with ease?

Yeah that happens

Perfect steelbooks do exist though and the consisitency of quality is far greater on steelbooks than any competing metal case

I have never received a Metalpak for instance that wasn't full of microscratches on every corner of it

A Y fold is a type of seal




It can only be done by a specific machine so resealed games would be easy to spot if they originally had a Y fold seal
