Describe a Pokemon sealed product with a torn wrapper as damaged sealed, not mint sealed. Give the tear size, location, and whether inner packs remain closed. A sealed product is an unopened box, pack, tin, or blister in factory wrap. A tear breaks that wrap, so buyers cannot assume full collector condition.

Is it still sealed?
Call it sealed only if nothing was removed, opened, or swapped. Use phrases like factory sealed with torn wrapper or sealed with wrapper damage. Do not use mint, perfect, or investment grade.
The size of the break matters. A small corner nick differs from a split seam that exposes inner packs. Name that difference so the buyer can judge reseal risk and display value.
How do you show the tear clearly?
Photograph the full front and back first, then a close-up of the tear. Put a ruler or coin beside the damage for scale.
Tilt one shot so light catches loose edges and depth. Describe what each photo proves in plain words. Note loose flaps, holes, crushed corners, and whether you can see product through the gap.
- Full front and back of the wrapper
- Close-up of the tear with scale object
- Angled view showing depth or lifted film
- Seal seams and any inner packs visible through the break
What should the listing say?
Put the damage in the title, not only the details. A title like Elite Trainer Box, Sealed, Torn Shrink on Corner filters for the right buyer. It also prevents claims that damage was hidden.
In the description, answer four points in order. State the product name and set, tear length and spot, condition of inner contents, and how the item was stored. Example: shrink torn two centimeters on lower back edge, inner packs unopened, stored in a dry closet.
How do you set value and return terms?
List torn-wrapper items in a lower condition tier than intact sealed copies. Collectors pay for clean wrap, while other buyers want untouched packs to open. Say which buyer your item fits best.
Write a simple return rule tied to contents. Confirm the count of inner packs or blisters and promise a return if any inner pack arrives opened or missing. Ship in a box with padding so the tear does not grow in transit.
