When it comes to Infocom games I am pretty certain I can tell a rewrap from an original one. It's not only that I know what the shrink looked like that was used by Infocom, but there are other telltale signs as well: dust particles under the shrink, edgewear where there shouldn't be any, fingerprints, etc. Marco ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
