So my friend went down to the salvation army to thrift hunt, and he found this:








The game is sealed, but the artwork is missing? I haven't seen it in person yet, but he swears up and down that the seal isn't broken anywhere.



But the plot thickens...









He found four of these damn things in the same place. So are these resealed by somebody....or was there somehow four bloopers that were created which left the factory, stayed together, stayed unopened, and ended up in a salvation army?

My first thought was a reseal, but they're pretty damn good reseals if they are one. They even have the hook on the back.

Well... it'd be hard to sell them at retail, no? Stuff that doesn't sell at retail goes to Tuesday Morning, Salvation Army, etc.
Doubt they're re-seals, since that title sticker's in place.

Sell em on eBay. Sometimes factory error goes for crazy price.

Yeah, and why the hell would you re-seal World Tour Soccer 2002? I mean, really?

Gotta be a factory screw-up.

If it was a good game maybe but most sports titles(especially yearly installments) are mere shovelware.

That's true. But then again, you may get an extra dollar or 2 out of those errors.
