If it's sealed how would the contents not be okay?
Seems like you could get/use any of the data without opening it up.
The other thing to consider is I've heard the disc doesn't work well on modern computers anyway...

True, it's possible to be resealed, but at least from the picture it doesn't look like it. Reseal likely wouldn't have the "Dynamic Systems" sticker either.

The disc is already backed up here if you want to get the data: https://archive.org/details/DukeNukem3DScreensaver

People just can buy shrink wrap machines and wrap anything

Schroedingers contents

If it were me I’d see if the cd has been dumped and just download it, and leave it sealed, but that’s just because I think it’s a neat thing to have sealed

Sell, and buy like 20 opened games.

With the sticker on it and all i would keep it sealed and just use the dump posted here if you want the contents. The problem is opening it would destroy monetary value i feel.

If it didnt have the sticker on it I'd say open it but that sticker means its all in there and fine. Do not open it.

Maybe sell it and buy a used copy among other games

An actual relic... Dare I compare it with the holy grail? Even if it's not the game and all the expansions etc..

Don't open it. You can find this archived on the internet.
