Factory Sealed Retirement Plan

by marino

With the recent absurdity surrounding grading factory sealed games that sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I decided to compile a list of sealed games in my collection that will definitely, assuredly, without a shadow of a doubt let me retire early. As if our generation could ever retire.

I have a sealed copy of Chrono Trigger. Something tells me it isn't the right one though.

I don't know why I never opened some of these. A few are for collecting reasons. Many are byproducts of working at game store in the mid-2000s. Some truly just belong on a pile of shame. And a bunch of weird PS4 & Vita games were a gift from Shane Bettenhausen after I mailed him some Dollar General exclusive Mississippi Mud Pie Oreos. True story.

Here's the list from oldest to newest.
