Yea I don't give a crap about a piece of paper on a piece of plastic. I'm not looking at the label when I'm playing the game. Like I've said before, "The art is in the cart".

QFT.

What level? The level of enjoying games instead of worrying about a sticker on a cart? You got a long way to go then. Seriously, Do you look at the label when you're playing? Are your friends going to like you less cause the label is peeling? I just don't get this mentality lately about the condition of carts/labels/CIB or whatever else it is this week. I'm over here wondering if I have enough MP to fight the final boss and you're wondering if the label is nice enough to display in your glass cabinet.

Very true. What other opinions do you have on the subject?

Thanks CZroe. Figured you would know.

All he does is post bland pictures, yeah man he's an expert.

Is your boot still stressing you out? You must not own any other made in mexico games, which is a shame, because
the later titles are awesome.



And yes Mega Man X3 and Final Fight 3 are both made in Mexico labels

This has already been established.

Hmm, my Final Fight 3 has a high gloss label.

Spoiler:
I also made it sometime last year with a programmable PCB :keke:

This game is one of my many grails - one day I'll stumble across one at the goodwill or perhaps a garage sale nestled between a pair of stonewashed jordache jeans.

This is my only SNES game.

It isn't just about playing the game, if I pay $100+ for a game I definitely want it 100% original and that includes the sticker. I'd rather have no label at all than a repro.

Agreed. It's one thing if you knowingly buy a repro, but I'd be pretty pissed if I got ripped off.

And I don't think LukeJaywalker is hurting anyone by having an original Earthbound cart, so I don't think it's fair to be giving him shit. I guess I'm a gaming libertarian.

It has 00000.0000 affect on me if panda collects used condoms or new tampons. It's people with low self-esteem that care about how another man collects or if he collects at all.

Low self esteem? Sorry seriously doubt it, people that complain about a label on a 20+ year old cart have huge issues on their own. Try again little man.

I guess bud. Hopefully if you keep complaining about it I will change my ways and collect like you.

FakeXsound and SNES_collector are spot on. OP bought a cart at presumably market value and has some legit concerns that paid full price for something that isn't worth full price. Don't see how that makes him a collectard. Frankly, he'd be a chump if he was ok with overpaying for something.

Let's be clear here - there is big difference between people who collect whatever is trendy at the moment and send their stuff to get VGA graded, and people who enjoy playing a game but also appreciate just sitting on the couch admiring some nice artwork on s box or manual....and I truly see nothing wrong with the later. I do it all the time.

Let go the hate people.

@Lukejaywalker23: Your cart looks legit. From the sticker placement, the edges, the corners, and the texture, it all matches up. Earthbound carts have a matte textured sticker with no coating on them, and don't have either "Made in Japan" or "Made in Mexico" on them.

Congrats on the purchase and I hope you're enjoying the game.

Big deal. You've posed as a fake drug dealer.

This doesn't make you a big tymer, nor does your wall of games where you can't even make out the spines.
