In more detail

TCGplayer counts a product as factory sealed only when it is untouched since the maker packed it: the original packaging is whole and undamaged, the seals are unbroken, and nothing about it has been tampered with, re-wrapped or re-sealed.

Sealed product is bought for what is inside it, and the value of that depends on the seal being the maker's. Once a box has been opened and closed again it is no longer sealed product, whatever the wrap looks like.

Buy from sellers you can check, and ask for photos of the seams and ends of what you are buying. A price far below what other sellers ask for the same box is a reason to look more closely.
