I guess if 2nd hand shops wants to make the OBI stay on when displayed they better would add a plastic wrap, it's more convenient than spending time to glue it (if you observe it closely, the tape is perfectly glued, it's not a hand job).

That's interesting. It makes me wonder why they would do this taping in the first place - to make it sit in place for the shrink wrapping? It doesn't look like every obi from a certain release is taped though? My obi for
this album is taped but the obi we have a picture of doesn't seem to have any tape. The tape on mine covers the text on the very right end of the obi, where it says ゲーム..., etc.
