Kartia <3

that is almost definitely a reseal.

1. Kartia Is a Y fold sealed game. you can probably look it up on ebay or somewhere. (my work blocked it so I cant find and post a link)
2. unless I am seeing this wrong the holo foil is torn open on the top edge of the second pic.

A flat fold seal (not sure what it is actually called) it just like a Y fold but only on the top of the game where you would see the Y otherwise you will see just a straight line all the way across. sometimes it is down the other edge. but by rare I mean I only know of 1 game I have ever gotten that was sealed like it in the north American market https://vgcollect.com/item/7268 persona: Revelations.

Kartia is a very rare game to find in New mint condition. One original sealed Y-Fold is a little damaged and the other is the reseal. Legend of Legaia also seems very rare to find New mint. I also have had trouble getting Legend of the Dragoon Black Label Y-Fold and missed an auction last week for a perfect flawless item because I didn't check eBay. I was able to get Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.

I also have another question about PS1 games in general. What if a New game has a flawless Y-Fold Seal but no security strip or UPC Label? I was told some authorized reprints of some games were were like that.

New PS1 collecting is going to be unimaginably expensive and I doubt you'll find much outside online sellers.

I'm pretty sure a sealed collector will spend the money since otherwise it is pretty much impossible to get these items. Cheaper prices can be gotten but even than it can be pricy not to mention the time that could go past in the mean time you can't really compare it to used collectors It's a different world of collecting.

You'll probably only find stuff online, in gamestores or at conventions eitherway it's going to be pricy.

That Legend of kartia might just be a store rewrap if you would ask me.

Pal sealed collecting is allot easier since we have official playstation or nintendo logo strip seals or at the very least a recycle or clear tear strip. In the rare occasions they say that even those are sometimes resealed so even than you looking at y folds etc.

this one seems to be a legit y fold kartia ps1
