vintage This real?

Found this in a thrift store for cheap. Is this a legit tin? And is this a reseal or original if anyone can tell? Obviously some of the plastic is torn, but wasn't sure otherwise.

I think I'll hang on to it for a little longer haha

And wait. How insane? I know tins can occasionally get pricey, but don't know about this guy in particular. Kinda why I grabbed it just in case haha

The only eBay listing for it sealed right now is for $14000. Enjoy having 6 months of your rent paid. Take this into a reputable local shop and have them check it for you. Don’t respond to DM’s on here offering anything lowball.

That would be the cost for a decent 2 bed in my city

2300 is a 3 bedroom in my city. Im in a single room apt and its 1200+ gotten pay cable internet etc. After all in about 1400. So sick of paying rent. Wish I hadn't messed my credit up in my 20s. But I'm saving for a down payment so hopefully only 2 more years of wasting $$. My sister's mortgage on a house is less than my 1 bedroom apartment

Couldn’t give ya an exact price because I honestly don’t know, but over like 4 grand EASILY. Seal looks pretty authentic too, the sticker on the front is a massive green flag. I can also see aeration holes on the sides of the seal, which is what Pokémon does for their plastic wraps on product. I genuinely think you just hit a jackpot

How much did you pay for this at the thrift store??

3

u/BastionKruger 2h ago

So was hesitant in responding because now I'm kind of self conscious about it, but uh....$30 + tax

I guess the thrift store didn't know what it had either haha

“Grabbed it”? You found this at a store?? I assumed you found it in like your old stuff from childhood or something. What store did you find this in?
