This is SEALED. BUT, if you look at the last two pictures, you can see that although it is still factory sealed, that the shell case corner is damaged. I took close-up pictures so it looks worse than it seems from my view. It is on the bottom corner of the front of the tape. You cannot notice it when looking straight on at all. The reason this could matter is if you were to grade this. Otherwise, it has no impact to the actual movie inside. This sealed has sold anywhere from $50-$10000. Very strange price differences but very true. I have done massive amounts of research of VHS sealed tapes and this is 100% true. The price given reflects the damage, otherwise I would have priced it hundreds more. Enjoy!
