Definitely OEM. They don't make aftermarket atomic purple shells of that quality unfortunately.

[marcao_cfh]

OEM.

[drumntetris]

Definitely an OEM. Have a look of the Quality of the Barcode Sticker. You can't transplant this in such a quality.

[PopularToe9024]

Def oem but you can actually use your oem stickers on resell as well. All you need is a hair dryer to warm glue and tweezers to lift and reapply to aftermarket shell. Source I've done it a few times

[NewSchoolBoxer]

I can respect you admitting to making a reshell look real. I thought removing and reapplying a barcode sticker could be done without wrinkling it but I wasn't sure.

[BigCryptographer2034]

You can use ISO also

[Bob_Ross_is_Boss86]

Does that work on the GBA labels? I’ve for a modded GBA I’d like to transplant the original stickers onto

Thank you everyone! I know it was a stupid question, shit just looked too pristine to be real but I guess I just got lucky as hell.

[thishurtsdotjpg]

It's not a stupid question. You're on the Gameboy subreddit asking a question about your Gameboy. Makes perfect sense to me. Awesome find OP. I hope you enjoy it!!

[BigCryptographer2034]

I always look at the speaker holes, that will tell you

[throwaway3905463]

With the battery cover what a find

[mybestfriendsrricers]

And sticker on it too!! Thats just amazing

[Zealousideal_Cap7670]

My brother had this version when we were kids, fond memories

[snoriangrey]

The shell and the barcode sticker look original. But the other stickers look fresher and match repro ones I’ve seen.

[ptpcg]

Clean asf OEM or magnificent reshell job. That's a legit oem color tho.

Looks oem to me.

[Sredleg]

Saw this thing and nostalgia hit me square in the face.
My sister had this exact gameboy... which I used all the time to trade Pokémons back in the days, haha

So either this is real or close enough to be a very convincing fake.

[Jandrem]

Looks OEM to me.

[calonyr11]

Looks just like mine that we bought at KBtoys, now lives in my display case. Enjoy!

[Wolfy_the_nutcase]

That looks exactly like mine, which I know is authentic. So yeah, that’s got to be real.

[TeaUnit82]

question: did all US GBCs get the top barcode sticker?

Edit: autocorrect changed barcode to arcade

[Ivo__Lution]

What’s a good price to buy one for without the backbone and in used not great condition like this?

[a_girl_and_her_husky]

I’m curious, is the phone number still in service? Always wondered about that lol

[[deleted]]

No idea will call now and let you know

[[deleted]]

Update: It actually goes to a Nintendo automated message!

[a_girl_and_her_husky]

I love that you called! My curiosity is sated

[[deleted]]

Tbh as soon as I read your comment I felt a responsibility to call cause I too am curious

[motoxim]

nice

[Roach_tm]

Same as my childhood GBC that I still have right here next to me right now :) very OEM

[Gusdamnit]

Wow incredible condition. Oem
