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....

i'm trying very hard not to be... but when i see something that catches my eyes... i just can't say no...

btw you know if the uncharted 3 sticker book (this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/190919468596...84.m1423.l2649) is really worth that much?

I hope so. XD If it is, I'm gonna try and shift mine.

They did only make 550 of these and a good amount of them were sold here. XD

Mine has a weird flaw where the back sticker hasn't been cut by the machine properly, so I've got like 1cm of the next one in the line's artwork at the top of mine, and have lost a bit from the bottom

Kinda annoyed me to begin with, but I don't really care anymore xx
