Hey Dan

Yes, it is worth more if it is sealed... to a sealed collector... Especially older releases like the one you show
Some collector's aim to have an entire collection that is sealed and immaculate (where things were originally factory sealed) and there are also collectors who would prefer sealed ont he basis that it is less likely to have any marks or scratches than an open one even if their plan is to open it themselves
Hence an auction for each of the two above would finish higher (in normal circumstances) for the sealed one though the number bidding at the end would be small....
