Hello guys, thanks for accepting me to the community. I recently purchased this CIB Halloween for the Atari 2600 and just want to see if my box is a reproduction or authentic. The manual and cartridge are 100% real but the box looks way too shiny and raised some flags for me.
If you own an authentic Halloween CIB for the Atari 2600 please confirm with me if your box has a plastic film over it and if yours is shiny as well. Also I noticed inside the box is a small stamp, if you own the box please tell me if yours has this stamp inside it or not (last picture).
Pro's:
Has an old price sticker
Manual and cartridge are real
buyer has good reviews
Wizard video games was a small company and did half ass work sometimes not even printing labels. Their work isn't sharp as we can see a white bar on the label of the cartridge
box has a cartridge holder inside
other stock images online look to be shiny as well
Con's:
price sticker looks like it was glued on purposefully/tampered
box seems blurry and has a plastic film on it
box is way too shiny and glossy
Other Atari box's don't have this style/texture/plastic film over it
artwork isn't sharp and looks faded/printed poorly
