Same here, but if you look closely at the package, the sticker seal has already been opened - likely sealed during production and then devs signed and resealed - thats the reason why i opened mine

But it's everyone own choice. But I understand why you choose your path.

Had to chime in here. I'm one of those Star Wars hardcore collectors as you say. Yes, I have numerous figures, dolls, toys sealed. But that is completely different from art books or signed memorabilia.

I just recently went through this discussion with a few good friends. I own all of the Titan exclusives gaming art books with signed lithographs. When I first got them I couldn't open them, that little innocuous collector tick wouldn't let me. But friend's told me 'hey you bought an art book, with signed art inside. You spent all the money just to look at the cover?'. And they're right. Keeping toys sealed is one thing, keeping limited art or signed things sealed is completely different.

I don't consider a sticker that can easily be removed a "seal", really only ones that force you to actually cut or tear it can be considered a proper seal.


But personally I would open it, it really won't devalue an item such as this. Plus like i already explained it doesn't seem to be a "real" seal anyways.

I also feel like opening it wouldn't devalue it; so long as you don't cut the sticker.just my opinion of course.

I don't think it's stupid at all. I have plenty of items that I've chosen to keep sealed for the sake of keeping them as original as possible. Just that in this case, again, I don't believe opening it will affect the item one way or the other. Especially since the sticker can easily be resealed.
