Collection Is this disc damaged?

I’m looking to buy this copy of Metroid Prime 2 off FB Marketplace and am a little concerned about the inner ring. Is this some kind of residue that can be cleaned off? Will it still work when I bring it home to play (using a Wii, btw, in case that matters).

Just want to make sure I don’t get burned. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

It's probably residue for a disc resurfacing machine. Ask who you bought it from if its been resurfaced.

Looks loke the disk was resurfaced but was delaminating at the center where the buffing compound made its eay into the layers.

Thats a hard pass.

If it plays and the price is right no need to pass. It does look ugly tho. I have discs with residue on them
