Yeah, these games are more on the rare side I would say. You have to make sure they’re really originally sealed though, and not re-sealed. Both of these games should be sealed with wrap that looks like a present on top. You can see pictures of this type of wrap on the Vintage Sierra website:

Not all the Sierra boxes are wrapped that way (as it is said at Vintage Sierra). They weren’t in the first years (see this feature http://www.game-nostalgia.com/sierra/sierra_collector_riddles_1.html)
and also the bigger white boxes with sleeves of a later date didn’t have always folded shrink wrap. Some of the boxes come in both ways; I have checked this a few times and they include the same original Sierra contents. Decisive for the early boxes is the tanned/beige inner box and the system requirement stickers. For the bigger white boxes only the stickers may help to identify their origin.

Ooh, I hadn’t seen that other article. Thanks for posting it! Yeah, looking at the label stickers is also another great way to tell a real game from a Slash game. Unfortunately, of course – as mentioned in that article – beyond the simple things to spot, there were many packaging / sealing variations so it can become hard to know.
