Got in a 2nd edition Gamma World box set still in shrinkwrap. My spidey-sense told me there might be issues inside, so I decided to go ahead and open it up.
I’ve had an issue in the past. Sold a unopened, factory-shrinkwrapped set to a customer one time. Buyer found it to be entirely water-damaged on the inside.
Seemed fine on the outside, but there had been something… off… about the shrink when I got it in. I should have listened to my instincts at the time.
OK, Here we go. [Drumroll]
Wax oil from the crayon oozed into the Rule Booklet and the Adventure Book. In the old days, they’d put the crayon IN the dice baggie.
What a mess.
Here’s an unboxing that turned out much better!
