Pal of mine obtained this sealed and graded unique copy of Pokemon Yellow\u2026<\/p>\n

US Customs:
Broke the acrylic case
Ripped and discarded the seal
SLICED the entrance of the field off<\/p>\n

Perhaps they weren’t followers of @TheWataGames<\/a> ? pic.twitter.com\/lGs1qC1RIF<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPal of mine obtained this sealed and graded unique copy of\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Yellow<\/em>,\u201d Kick tweeted. \u201cU.S. Customs: Broke the acrylic case, ripped and discarded the seal, [and] sliced the entrance of the field off. Perhaps they weren\u2019t followers of Wata Video games?\u201d Wata<\/a> is an organization that grades and certifies video games for collectors.<\/p>\n

Curiously, The_Master_Of_Unlocking instructed\u00a0Kotaku<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that he purchased the sport from a vendor in Canada for $3,800 USD (about $5,080 CAD). It was en path to him when the incident is alleged to have occurred. He added that he wasn\u2019t certain why U.S. Customs brokers had been so tough with the product, noting there have been much less damaging methods of opening it up for screening.<\/p>\n

Based mostly on the photographs shared by Kick, it sadly doesn\u2019t seem like there\u2019ll be anyway to Full Restore the sport.<\/p>\n
