Can someone help me figure out if these boxes are resealed?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased 2 boxes, one of the Mega Charizard X Collection and one of the Legendary Dragons of Unova Collection. I got the boxes in the mail today, and noticed that the cardboard box for each of them is warped/damaged/dirty but the shrink-wrap around the box is tight and clear of any dirt.

I’ve attached albums of each box. I’m hoping for the best, but can’t help but wonder if it’s been resealed. If anyone is able to compare the seals of their own sealed boxes to these ones, that’d be greatly appreciated too :blush:

Legendary Dragons of Unova Box imgur.com/a/WYSYhZP (notice the dust that’s on the plastic covering of the zekrom figure despite there being shrink-wrap around it)

The boxes also have some holes due to the shrinkwrap being too tight, but that could just be a byproduct of the process (although it would be nice to have confirmation that someone else’s box also has this problem)

Edit: I realized this thread should be under the “Just a Question?” section. Can a mod move it over to there?

So I bit the bullet and decided to open the Dragons of Unova box. Was pleasantly surprised to pull a palkia ex full art and black kyurem ex full art from the 4 packs! Leads me to believe that the boxes were probably not tampered with and probably just weren’t stored in the best of conditions over the years.
