Shrinkwrap on WEG SW adventure modules

Hi. I just received a copy of Game Chambers of Questal that I bought on EBay and it looks like it still has the shrinkwrap on it, but I don't know what the quality of original shrinkwrap was back in the day. It is tight to the edges with seams on the back cover about a half inch in on the top, open, and bottom sides. The plastic is quite thin. However, there are little bend marks on the front and back at the spine. Which suggests that someone re-shrinkwrapped this at some point. I certainly didn't pay original shrinkwrap. 25 year old module price for this...
Did I just buy a book I can't read without ruining its collectibility?

It's more likely been re-shrinkwrapped, which some sellers probably do to keep people from thumbing through it on their store shelf (or removing portions from it or damaging it).

I've got that adventure, and I don't think it's exceptionally collectible or anything. If you want to read through it, I'd recommend opening it.

Lord knows I don't need to start collecting shrinkwrap SW stuff so if it was reshrinked that is a good thing and I'll open it. I wasn't under any illusions as to the quality of that module when I bought it but if it was original shrinkwrap I would have kept it as such.
Thanks

I don't remember pronounced seams as you describe on the shrinkwrap, but they could have been there. But I think a bigger clue is, it is extremely unlikely that any of those modules' original shrinkwrap would still be intact without at least the corners peaking out. I think it was also likely reshrinkwrapped.

But more important than that, what good does a collectible do sitting around collecting dust. If you don't have another copy of that, then I feel you should rip open that wrapper and read/use the book! This game is meant to be played. I put all of my paperback game books in plastic bags with boards, so they are protected, but still accessible.

So I opened it and read it. It actually seems to have a dungeon in it, but reads like it would be fun to run - quite a bit of the scum of the Galaxy vibe that I like about SW.

Definitely a favorite module. Works even better if you seed in Tyree to a character's backstory several adventures before.

I think that is true for all prepackaged modules. The shock to your willingness to suspend disbelief when your GM opens up a new module and suggests that you risk a favorite character's existence to help an old friend/ famous Rebel hero/ etc who's name you just heard for the first time...

I've introduced Tiree a number of times in my campaign so that my heroes will actually care when he's missing.
