The first factory set I have in a box with a seal is 1988. Not saying early sets were not sealed but the boxes I bought were not sealed.

This actually helps a lot.In this small lot of sets I bought the 1985, 1986 sets do not have any seal and look like they never did. The 1987,1988,1989, 1990 all do.Thanks.

As a dealer in the 1980's I can confirm that the small seal put on the factory sets started with the (green lettering box 1988 Set). Before 1988 , done contained the seal that I received from Fleer. I first factory set I got from them I believe was in 1985 , 85,86 and 87 ( blue lettering) were not sealed. At least this pertains to Hobby Sets .

Staring with the 1981 Set they have 4 vending boxes to make 3 sets. So 24 vending box case made 18 sets.

I just checked the 5 sets that I picked up and I can confirm with you that on what I have 1986,1987 no seal, 1988, 1989, 1990 all have a seal. Thanks for the help.
