If I put my box into the light I see something round in the middle above "IN MONO".
2cm or less than 1 inch. Is that the magnet?

ironbellyYes. But it is additional, supporting, point. Because usually proof of payment, invoice/check from the store etc. is better.Quote

I want to sell my box "SEALED"
But it seems to me that's a problem.
Are not more signs on it to discover?
My box has a weight between 900 gram and 1 kg. (whithout the sg)
If I understand you the weight is a point for originality?
EU box has mass ~960 gr + something if you will weight it with shrink (I torn and dispose it, it would add 5-10 gr extra). My parcel from amazon has a sticker with statement 1.06 kgs.
The other way is to check images on discogs. The EU version presented there is correct one.

You see, this box is relatively new and is not that popular as The Beatles Mono box. But those guys face the situation with Chinese fakes years ago. And they realize quite quickly that the fake has different mass. Here the situation is very similar. Chinese version does not have magnet in the box flip cover, it comes w/o inner and outer plastic sleeves. I.e. it should weight 100gr (at best) less.
For example these guys

state 900 gr
So, you know...
I believe CD box is Japanese SHM import. But I agree - it is overpriced.Quote

I do not open my cd box. I only opened the LP box, also with 7"sg. included.
I trust in that the CD box over originality due to buy it with the 7"sg. included.
So, I've two parts of the 7"sg

But has anyone a clue where the digital downlaod card is in the box?
I am not sure that autorip is available for all countries. I was not able to get into digital downloads area no matter what I try.Quote

See this Post and the following Posts: [iorr.org] .
Maybe the MP3s are already in your Amazon-account due to the 'Autorip' feature.
Maybe the Download-Card (LP-Box) is inside the Book or on/below the external shrink-wrap attached sticker.

I think it's worth noting that when you buy a hi-res download on Qobuz, you have then the choice of format (FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF...) and the choice of quality: 24-bit 192kHz, 24-bit 96kHz, 16-bit 44.1kHz, or even MP3...

16-bit 44.1kHz and MP3 are no hi-res...
