This is a sealed copy of Columns for the Sega Genesis graded by WATA at 9.0, A+.  This copy is only five points away from a "perfect" WATA score of WATA 9.8, A++.  Please note that there are ZERO other copies on WATA's June 2023 population report.  

There are a variety of superficial defects with the box per the WATA 9.0 grade.  There appears to be some slightly perceptible inward curvature of the front of the box that is not easy to depict in photos.  I included an angle photo in an effort to show what I am talking about, but it is hard to see without having the game in your hands because it is a subtle issue.  The hangtab has not been tampered with per the last photograph.  The seal is in solid condition per the A+ grade.  The seal is probably not the tightest at the front left portion and back left portion.  For a Genesis game with often beat up seals that are more generously graded by WATA, this is one of the best condition Genesis seals of what I see as a regular grader.

This is the first entry in the Columns franchise which rivals the Tetris series in terms of historically significant puzzle games.  It is the first-party Sega response to the Tetris franchise, featuring comparable gameplay.  Accordingly, it is one of the most important games in puzzle game history.  It is extremely hard to come by in sealed form for the relatively obscure Sega Master System.
