It wasn't the same factory tape. But I've seen a similar situation when I bought a TRU Grapple a few weeks ago. I think it was returned and retaped by the store.

By chance, did yours come from a Canadian seller?

It came from Jersey, so it didn't even have to cross state lines to get to me.

If the tape matches, then I wouldn't worry about it.

The tape is blatantly different. The guy was selling a lot of stuff and seemed like a collector, so I don't know. It was also slightly bulged in the back, so I think it could have been opened and put back in.
