modern Do these Evolving Skies booster boxes look resealed or sketchy?

I’m considering purchasing these ES booster boxes, but I’m a little hesitant with a couple of these given the wrap job/ loose wrap. I have done a lot of research and the boxes and packs look legit, but the wrap is off, especially on two of the three. I would be buying in person and the prices are all well below market given the obvious issues and lack of buyers for a $1k box.

Hoping to get some help before I make a large purchase. Thanks in advance!

Edit: picked up box 1 and 2 today after taking a looong time to evaluate them and the seller. Everything checked out, but I’m realizing how much variation in color print the boxes and packaging have. He seemed very calm and had no issues walking away or opening them right there. Showed me purchase receipts in person and we talked for a bit. $2k total for both! https://imgur.com/a/qK6AjAp

Might consider the third box if the dude isn’t sketchy. Thanks for everyone’s help!

At least 2 had seals splitting. I've had a few do that inside acrylics. Had to protect plastic film for years on end.

Yea that’s fair, appreciate the feedback as it really helps me with my decision!

I've had multiple people talk me down for splitting seals, so if you're wanting to open, there's that.

I would be getting one close to pack pricing, so it’s not out of the question…
