See #884229

I once bought 2 boxes from a dealer who had a stock. Both boxes as new, only part 1 was sealed. Just sold 1 where the question was why the other parts were not sealed. I see the same thing at auctions. Because the albums in the box are almost impossible to remove, everything is so tight, I thought that the publishers / distributors might have decided to fill the box that was too small with unsealed copies. It's just a detail but it's nice to know how it is. Were those albums also distributed/sold separately?

At Lekturama you could always buy the first part as an introduction (to lure buyers) very cheaply? Many more were then made and perhaps that first part was in a different printing process than the rest of the box, so it had to be added later? Something like that I think Harry56

Hi Rene, 

I never dared to open that sealed copy, it might be useful to see if there are differences with the other albums/omnibuses. And who knows, maybe there's a flyer in there or something. The clocks are also very nice, 1 is in our bathroom and it is still accurate..

I don't think the sales value will be much less if there is only 1 book in the box in the seal and you remove the seal from that. If everything was still in the seal, it would be a different story I think.
