ok i just copped a sealed copy of walt disney's fantasia for $2 but how am i supposed to know if its an OG press without making it "unsealed"? no dates dates on the cover, only STER 101 on the binding. i see it listed on ebay for $65 though i'll probably end opening it a sampling it anyway.

that best thing to do is to find another one and forget about that one then you wont be temped to open it , put it in a records plastic and put it away, i got three super man record books sealed and OG sealed from 1975.
the way i can tell is when a plastic has been on for a long time it begins to shrink and the shrink on this one is startin to curve at the top of it but it's not affectin the record you can feel it , as far as that one thats tuff i seen one of those disney ones afew weeks ago too sealed but it looked so new it hAD to be a reissue but my loss, just gotoa comic or some record guy you trust to see if he can tell you thers got to be a disney junkie around ur area that can tell you.

dont do it my man .it's prolly worth more untouched just keep those edges mint save it for your kids that what i did with my super man books savin them for my son when he gets older they'll prolly be more money.

i hear ya, its tempting though. i mean i don't plan to sell it and it doesn't do me any good sealed so i think i'll still open it and keep the satisfaction of knowing i found a sealed copy and own a mint copy. plus i bet theres a cool poster in there. oh yeah the shrink wrap is shrivle, maybe thats a good sign. peace.

HOLD BACK pad-ophiliac HOLD BACK . it could be a great investment in the long run. after afew weeks you will forget about trying to open it,
i'm yet to get replacemnets for those three but i have them put away so i dont even trip anymore ,but i have much more kiddie records to sample from. a few weeks ago i landed like 10 - 15 seseame street and disney and other stuff for like 10 cents each and in near mint condtion with the books and poster in them. clean edges nice covers. my son flipped out , shlt so did i. i must got like100 of those kinds of records.
