I was in my local Tesco this morning and I noticed an oddly sealed Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber (Which has just been released recently)
It had the standard red Nintendo tear strip, but rather being horizontally across the game as you would usually expect, it ran vertically along the right-hand side of the game!!! I checked other copies of the game on the shelf, and all the others were sealed in the standard manner, except this one copy which looked odd. It's as if the actual game case had been turned 90 degrees prior to being sealed
Question is, would there be a collector's market for this kind of mistake? Could it perhaps be treated in the same manner as a mis-print, especially seeing as it was just an odd one out amongst a batch of standardly sealed copies. Would this sort of thing interest any kind of collector's? (After all, we are among the elite, so perhaps there's someone who specialises in these sorts of sealed anomalies???)
Your thoughts...
PS: If it is still there next time I visit, i'll try and remember to take a picture
