Photos are of the actual item, and they are 50mp photos, so zoom in each one to see more detail. I provided photos of all angles. I see no breaks or tears in the seal or any other notable damage to the seal. As for the box itself, it does appear to have some minor creases on one side. I'm providing my assessment in good faith, but I'm not infallible. Again, photos are of the actual item you'll receive, so please review them to confirm the condition for yourself. I've been in the business a long time, and I'll take good care of everything. Ships in a STURDY box via FedEx or UPS with tracking, insurance, and a signature confirmation will be REQUIRED upon delivery for both buyer and seller protection due to the high value of the item. Any questions please feel free to ask! Thanks for looking. My name is Brian, and it's's my pleasure to serve all of you since 2002!
