I do not necessarily agree with this. In fact I bought a bunch of new C64 games from a former C64 dealer and got a "new" Windwalker where the back was upside down. All the games were new (he did not sell used merchandise) so I'm guessing it was ok, the guy who bought it from me told me they DO come like that sometimes, he was a serious collector of shrinkwrapped games.
In the time I worked at Babbage's from 1987-1989 and Egghead during the summers of 1989-1992, I unloaded shipments at least once a week, sometimes twice, and I *never once* saw a new package where the box was assembled with one half upside down. So this is where my information comes from.
It is possible that very limited-run, low-budget, cheap publishers may have had this happen (I'm thinking rare/uncommon titles here), but I never saw it from EA, Sierra, etc.
