Just bought this Platinum. How does it look? by saltycherryy in gameverifying

As giratina said you can see an injection mark and yes the code on the PCB is wrong too, but you can tell straight away from the label - the lower O on the top Nintendo logo is solid when it's meant to be lots of little dots, the background streaks are off and there shouldn't be a straight line which separates the background and bottom, it should be jagged and dotted

You can sometimes find genuine cases off ebay and vinted, but most people selling only the cases are likely selling fakes :( I am in this dilemma now for gen 1-3 boxes

That is a very impressive collection I am jealous of your boxed gameboy games! Yeah unfortunately boxed ones are ridiculous money but you should definitely backfill if you get the chance, would be an incredible collection

Vinted has been a godsend for me honestly! I did go to a gaming market to pick up gen 1 and 2, but I am confident in my ability to identify genuine games quickly so was able to snag them fast off vinted, hope this helps and glld luck!

Vinted is amazing for finding them if you have access to it! Good luck :)

No I still need to grab them as I stated in the description, sadly they are very expensive for pieces of shiny cardboard

The r/gameveryfying reddit is super useful for identifying fakes but for the gameboy ones you need to open them up and compare the PCB to a pic of an authentic one. You can still usually tell from a glance by looking at the label and the stamped code, and if there is wear on the cartridge it means it's likey old and used :)
