One of only 50 ultra-rare copies of a '90s visual novel has reportedly been destroyed by US customs on its way from Portugal to the buyer: "Literally crying right now"

Tsukihima.

"Today, an important piece of history has been lost forever," says a gaming collector who claims their ultra-rare copy of a '90s era visual novel was destroyed by US Customs in transit from Portugal, its country of origin.

Twitter user Keripo shared an image of what appears to be a physically torn-apart 3.5-inch floppy disk along with the cover art for Tsukihime - Trial Edition, an uber-rare preview disk of which only 50 copies were ever officially produced. Alongside this image is a video purportedly taken by Keripo showing the collector's item's custom shipping packaging with a label that reads, "Opened and resealed by customs."
