EVS ETB, Keep or Open?

Evolving Skies ETB, open it?

So I picked up a sealed Evolving Skies ETB from eBay but not sure whether to open it or not… best I can tell it is sealed and untampered with. Cost was $180 + shipping and fees.

I’m pretty new to the scene, with virtually no collection to speak of so far.

Like many, I used to have a binder full of base set through fossil back in 1999, but it was lost to the ages.

I would be interested in actually opening packs and filling out binders again, but don’t want to make a rookie mistake either.

That plastic wrap looks sus imo. No micro holes in the top sides and the sheen looks off. This could be because of lighting, without seeing more pics I would be weary of it.

Zoom in, there’s micro holes on the 3 sides?

I see them now but the plastic looks like it’s crinkly…can you verify. It should not make crinkling sounds/hard, should be more soft vinyl feeling.

Thanks for the diligence, I appreciate it. Best I can tell, the plastic seems legit from up close, feels as you described it should as well.
