Is this worth anything? I found this in a box of old games. It was all Snes games. Most of them had flimsy damaged paper boxes but this one has a hard plastic case and is still sealed. I figure damaged paper boxes are probably worthless but Street Fighter is a pretty big franchise so an original still sealed might be worth something.

There are a couple stickers on it from whatever place it was sold at.

It was released in a cardboard box, not a plastic case. What you have is a case with a mutilated or copied print of the original box covering it. If the cartridge inside is legitimate, it's worth the price of a loose cartridge of the game, so like about $10.

No. The damaged paper boxes are going to be worth more than that, unless they're completely decimated. I can't tell from your photo, but someone printed off a copy of the original box art or maybe cut up an original box and slid it into a clamshell case and resealed it.

Is pretty easy to find sealed copies of that SFII.

Are damaged cardboard boxes generally worth anything? A bunch of the other games I had with this one had damaged cardboard boxes but I assumed they would be worthless due to poor condition.

Define "poor condition" for us. I would consider the "box" around your plastic case to be utterly worthless. A game with the original box and manual has at least some enhanced value, but it would depend on the condition.

I'm still having a hard time believing that you thought that SF2 game was factory sealed.

Depends on the game, really, but generally a complete (with box and instructions) game will be worth more than a loose game, even if the box isn't in perfect shape. Box aloneis still worth something. Again, if it is in absolute tatters, then I guess it might not do much to the value of the game.

The plastic casing and old stickers on the back probably means the game was a rental at a video store. Most video rental places used the plastic boxes because customers and kids would obviously destroy their boxes at home, and then placed facsimiles of the game covers in the plastic boxes.
